Southpark Fishsticks Strean

Heroes in Disguise! Cheers

What we do not say you have until today is that we travel "ecological" in a car worthy of the Transformers, a Toyota Prius. I can see the big eyes you do, a Toyota, is it really serious with all their recent troubles? In fact you do not know is that the Toyota Prius operates on the raw fear, anxiety has: launched a 120 km / h the car will stop she has time? The airbag inflates they? Welcome to the world of Toyotaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
attached to our seats, in fear we flew to Montgomery Alabama and Jackson Mississippi. The capitols of the Capitals were very beautiful and different styles but still majestic. We then headed to Baton Rouge Louisiana's capital and have seen the difference between their old and new capitol, which dominates the city. In both cases the capitols were unlike any we have already seen ... Point dome, no ostentatious statue. Based in Baton Rouge we head towards our first major step, New Orleans.
We watched the roadside in search of first signs of the bayous, we were pleased to find them or we had the lead, still as beautiful and untouched.
The return to New Orleans after almost 4 years of absence made us happy. The last time we were here from Katrina's devastation was still present and had left behind a lot of damage. Today the city has found a normal tourist and fever is back. In the spirit of homecoming we have established our headquarters in hotel St. Louis, like 4 years ago, in the heart of the French Quarter. Four years have gone by and Chip and myself have been more than happy to enjoy the festivities and end late drinking and other depravity within earshot.
After a good alarm clock we went in search of a typical cemetery, but we had to admit defeat and alkaline heat turned back up our fortress of solitude. The we decided to please us and explore the city in our transformation conditioned. A step that was dear to us was to see with our eyes the damage of Katrina, so we visit the Lower 9th Ward, the place most key
(above the 9th Ward when Katrina)
After all these years of life is still not back to normal and there probably never will return. It is hard to imagine how life would be normal when can still see the corpses of all the houses destroyed, these marches ghost houses, these houses ready for demolition, all this among the survivors "still standing". Many people like the Foundation "Make it Right" has worked well to life in the 9th Ward and new houses are like, eco-friendly and make hope even if there is much to do.
After the 9th Ward, we visit the Garden District, upscale neighborhood with very nice houses typical as well say that the contrast was striking.
On the way to Park City we were sucked in by a cemetery drive-thru. Rest assured it was not a 1 or 2 in the cemetery entrance was free if we added an occupant in stock has excessive speed, not just a cemetery it was so big that the car was desirable to move.
We went then to the lake to admire the lightning tearing the sky.
Our final visit of the day was at Natchez Steam Boat.
The icing on our evening was a very good dinner at the Rib Room has two steps from our hotel. Sausages wallygator after Saturday we offered a soup of Franklin. To finish the visit beauty we once again borrows memory lane was shot Daiquiris soft but misleading. It is not even midnight yet eyelids are heavy, very heavy ...
