Leaving Memphis behind today we continued south toward the Big Easy. Its some drive from Memphis, we stopped at the state line welcoming us to Louisiana.
Its actually the fifth anniversary for the day when Katrina came into hit the city. Its still possible to see a lot of the damage it caused, but what is more evident is seeing that the city is and has risen again. Its a beautiful city, particularly the French Quarter. You really could be in Europe. Its a refreshing surprise to find such a strong culture in an American city, as so many others could be replicas of each other.
This is restaurant our generous host, Jimmy, took us out to this evening. A chance to experience something new too, I ate Turtle Soup!
