Today I thought I'd share a layout with you with photos from a trip my husband and I took with friends to New Orleans last fall. While we were there, we took a bike tour of the lower 9th ward which is where most of the damage from Hurricane Katrina occurred. We were able to meet people who have moved back since the hurricane and it was an educational experience.
Did you know that most of the people in the lower 9th ward haven't returned because services such as schools, doctors, police and fire never came back to the area after the storm?
We stopped at a restaurant (more like a little run down gas station building without the gas pumps) and ordered my first ever Po Boy. It was filled with fried shrimp and an amazing hot sauce on big crusty bread. It was really delicious. I was a little worried that it might make me sick (remember the run down gas stations building I mentioned?), but all was good.
We even loved the hot sauce so much that my husband order a case of it after returning from our trip.
I highly recommend taking a bike tour anytime you are on vacation. This is the 3rd of 4th time we've done it and it's always a great way to explore the city. We used this bike tour company while in New Orleans.
Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to join in the Scrapbook Circle blog hop that ends today.
