Mark and I just returned from an awesome weekend trip to New Orleans. It was so amazing! We got to roam the Garden District and the French Quarter. We got to check out some really great cemetaries, and eat some excellent food! Bourbon street was just as every one described it, kinda stinky, and lots of bars, shops, and strip clubs. It was cool to experience it all though. (and by experience it, I mean see... we are still recomend holders: ) ANyhow, if you ever get the chance to go, do it...it was loads of fun. We didn't see much hurricane damage. Mark said they had cleaned it up a lot in the two years since Katrina.
