Waking up this morning to a cup of dark coffee, which I'm enjoying on our balcony on Frenchman Street. Rich jazz horns echo from our kitchen, while talkative crews sweep the street, wet from rain last night. The sun is ducking in and out of the clouds over New Orleans.
How can a place be so rich and so poor? This is truly a great American City, with a heartbeat that you can play a piano to, and a relaxed pace not unlike an island community. I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to visit a place which is trying to both find and preserve itself, after being gutted by the storm. Thank you New Orleans.
You know what they say....
New Orleans can get into your blood..kind of like malaria. I think that you have definitely been bitten.
