We're staying in Texas tonight and the wireless is terrible. I have tons of pics from New Orleans and can't post them this evening. I'll do my best tommorrow in Austin. We should have a short day driving before meeting up with Ariel's friends.
We checked out the Gulf coast through the rest of Mississippi today. The extent of the damage from Katrina was overwhelming, even after two years. It's such a huge expanse that was destroyed. There was some rebuilding, but still a lot of stuff that needs to be demolished. A lot of property for sale as well.
New Orleans itself seemed fine downtown and in the French Quarter, although the outlying residential areas looked kind of bad from our vantage point on the highway.
Bourbon Street is insane! I could have spent days wandering around, shooting photos, drinking... Wow. I wished we could have spent a night, but we have so much traveling to do. I'll post my photos as soon as I get a better connection.
