I wish I could say I only hurt myself by not writing here, but apparently by some emails and comments I’ve received, I’ve let some of my biggest “fans” down. For those of you who were frequent visitors to this page I apologize.
Now let’s get on to a wrap up of some of my recent activities shall we? And let’s hope these exciting tales continue.
As stated in my previous entry, I did get the opportunity to travel down the interstate to the wonderful state of Louisiana, and more importantly, the historical city of New Orleans.
Coming in on highway 10 you can really see the damage left by hurricane Katrina. It’s actually kind of hard to miss. Buildings which have been abandoned are a frequent site, as well as the remnants of people’s lives that remain, even though the people don’t.
Downtown New Orleans is a different story. There you can find all sorts of life. From the French quarter to the Mississippi River, there is plenty to do and see. I was amazed at some of the pure beauty the city held onto. This was, after all, my first visit to New Orleans.
I was there to cover the BCS National Championship game, and although the game didn’t go the way I would have liked, the experience I most certainly wouldn’t have traded for the world. The food, the hospitality, the sights and sounds I would recommend to anyone.
No matter what kind of vacation or escape you are looking for, most likely New Orleans has something for you.
If you’re Ohio State Buckeye fan looking for a championship…..that is something New Orleans doesn’t have.
