New Orleans

hollie blah blah blah

So tuesday morning Hollie and took off for New Orleans for work. Neither of us really wanted to go on this trip, but we are trying to have some fun while we are down here. We are both jonesin' to get back home and get on the snow before its all gone. Our days consist of food and meetings...boring. However, we have worked out everyday and managed a 7 mile jog this morning with a few other members ofout group that led us by a giant cemetary and to a big museum it was a nice morning

Hollie giving scale to this Naval Boat

We also took a little foot tour yesterday to see some sights. We walked down Canal st. and Burbon st. and we also ventured over to the mighty mississippi. That is where we saw the USS New Orleans. This boat is being commisoned this Saturday.

Hollie made a friend

Hollie also met this guy. We gave him a buck thinking he would start to break dance or something but he just stood there. Strange. I bet if I would have grabbed that buck back he would have moved!!!!!!!!!!

New Orleans seems a sad place to me. There is still ruin here but the sad part to me is the action here. Drinking, Flashing, Strippers and Vodoo. I guess the Vodoo is kind of cool, but I dont get the whole out of control burbon st experience. I guess I am getting old, I felt bad for a lot of the people down there. After we left Burbon st. we went to some famous cafe for fried donuts...i passed.
