It has been a long time since I had visited New Orleans. I don't think I would care to see it now. I like your description.

Vivid look into a world only visited by some, but more than worthy of being seen and known by all. So sad, the devastation that took place there. Pierre.

Susan,

The Big Easy ain't so easy anymore...powerfully penned tribute to once what was and hopefully will be again. Bigger and better than before...I hope.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Recovering on the surface perhaps...and living in fear of the next one! Haven;t been to New Orleans since age 17, but i'll never forget Bourbon Street and beignets...always a festival!

This was really colorful.

I believe, at times, that New Orleans celebrations were more gaudy than Las Vegas.

Bushels of rose buds Belle ...
