New Orleans

At the end of January, I traveled to New Orleans for a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Legal Services Corporation. Because I was coming from Rome, I got there a bit early to adjust to the time.  That gave me a little bit of time to explore the Big Easy, the best description of which is found in the movie Star Wars. (In a twist of irony, as I write this I am listening to HCjr's "O My Nola".)  Most of the pictures below are taken of the Cathedral in New Orleans, dedicated to St. Louis, King of France.  (If you've never read it, I strongly urge reading St. Louis's letter to his son)
