5/25 We stayed with a great family in New Orleans - friends of Pastor John & Debbie's - and were impressed with the ability of Hurricane Katrina to bring communities together. They told us of how each neighborhood was required to submit a plan for rebuilding and all plans were taken into consideration as the city was rebuilt.
In the evening, we went to the French Quarter, which was an interesting mix of old world charm and debauchery. Amazingly, just one street away from the parties of Bourbon St, we couldn't hear any of the noise.
Had a sampling of traditional dishes for dinner - shrimp creole, gumbo, jambalaya, red beans & rice, and an amazing whiskey bread pudding.
Finished off the night with beignets - basically funnel cake in a solid square - and chicory coffee on the Mississippi River.
