You know, I’ve never been to New Orleans. It’s looking hideously like I’m never going to get the chance, at least not to see the old city; the part that makes it Nawlins. I don’t even think I know anybody who lives there, but everyone I know is talking about it. I can’t help thinking about the article about New Orleans and force five hurricanes that TNH linked to last year, and how they’ll probably never have the chance to save the city now.
If, somehow, the city survives, I’m going as soon as I possibly can.
This warning for Katrina from NWS gave me the shivers – http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/iwszone?Sites=:laz062#t2
I have tickets for a visit to New Orleans at the end of September. I think I’m still going, unless the worst happens.
Y’know, I’ve always, always wanted to visit New Orleans, too, but have never had anyone to go there with. I think it sounds like a supremely fun time to go there with you, however, so if you’re unable to convince Ted to go, let me know? Money’s tight for awhile (laptop!), but I’d so save up to do this, no question.
