I Love New Orleans. The music the food and the people who hold tight to traditions, land and they can cut loose every time they get a chance. New Orleans is sometimes pretentious, other times dark and haunted, but always with a spirit that despite many problems, is untroubled and free. New Orleans marches to the beat of many drummers. Just pick one and enjoy the ride!

Here are some pictures from our trip This past May. We took Edgars son Christopher and 2 of his friends as a graduation/going into the army present.

Oak ally Plantation

Fishing in the gulf of mexico near bay St. Louis...you would not believe the damage the BP oil spill caused. I got in the water and walked through several globs of oil. Tar balls everywhere! gross. No sea birds, and the fish all seemed to have problems. So Sad!!!

Sun set over Lake Pontchartrain. Beautiful!
Willie Mays good southern food.
Alligators on the swamp tour! pretty neat.
