New Orleans

Currently I'm in New Orleans. I've been here since July 26th (following a week in Baton Rouge). New Orleans is hot and ridiculously humid in August. The roads are also some of the worst that I've seen in a major city. Although much of it can be blamed on Katrina, an article in the local paper recently discussed the fact that local and federal audit crews have been out surveying the streets to determine what was Katrina damage, and what was already there... which kinda tells you the state of the roads before the hurricane.

I have managed to snap a few interesting photos in the French Quarter that I'll share.
