Leaving New Orleans on 10 East, we start to see the rows and rows of the houses that haven’t been restored yet. Some collapsed, many more with search and rescue spray paint still on them. Office parks, freeway exits, big-box stores with trees growing in the empty parking lots. A man at the gas station […]
Going to start to pack up and head on out to ATL before Courtney totally convinces Katie to join the NOLA Roller Derby Girls. Or Katie convinces Courtney to take up the accordian. (Courtney refers to the trees covered with Spanish moss as “big Gandalf looking trees”.) Share on Facebook
