Our trip to new Orleans

July 14th, 2008 8:47 am MST

Well we had quite an eventful and eye opening time in New Orleans along with a very nice surprise. First the vacation portion, I have to admit I was a bit turned off by the dirtyness of New Orleans. You would think a city who is so famous would be cleaner and that its resturants would be open later in the evening. I was amazed at how bad the road conditions are! my guess is they never heard of a street paver. Maybe this is done so the auto mechanics can become rich doing alignments and replacing shocks and tires and rims on the cars. I am also suprise in the Buorbon Street area of the city that they have not been sued by people falling and slipping on the sidewalks. I was amazed at how you could drive one or two city blocks and how drastic the environment would change. I love architecture and this city has it! but on the same time when your buildings are over grown with sticky vines from bottom to top and no windows its time to have the city buy a bulldozer and take down the house and building a empty lot is better than one that looks like crap! one of my favorite things was going into the voodoo stores and the art galleries in Bourbon  Street  areas. And of course the main high light was when Racheal proposed to me. I was very happy and did not hesitate to say yes!
