Yeah,....but you can look at the wonderful photos..

I feel sick about this. My spouse and I honeymooned in NO, and it is (was?) one of our most favorite cities for its beauty, history, and dining. And the people are great. May God help them.

Weeping for memories of standing at the Aquarium one hot summer afternoon when the air felt like an anvil, and walking down the moonwalk looking back at Jackson square, memories of the time struck by the Cathedral clock as I cut school and wandered through the French Quarter, the smell of the old Jackson Brewery blowing down Toulouse street, the taste of ice cream and cappichino at Brocato's and the memories when I taught one of the Brocato granddaughters, the smell of beignets and cafe aulait at Morning call, the fun of catching my first redfish under the Bridge at the mouth of the Industrial canal, the fun of chasing mullets in the green waters of Lake Ponchartrain...the smells and light and heat and wonders and frustrations and marvels that are that city....home of my childhood, how I have missed you...and now will I ever get to see you again?
