New Orleans

Its 8:05pm.

We sent the day driving around New Orleans.  I couldn't help remember where i was when Katrina hit.  I was in Kenya getting ready to come here with Joey and Bob.  I remember the images scaring me so much i did not want to come.  Driving by the Dome really hit me.  Its amazing to see resilience, people's resolve to pick up the pieces and move on.  Now one i met today talked about the store only when you asked. We have a lot to learn from all the people who came back to New Orleans to reclaim this city

Then our up hill task was looking for a great place to eat. The Cab driver suggested Mother's.  I have always heard of gumbo but today i tasted it.  As a Kenyan i haven't developed a pallet for it.  I thought it needed some royco, dania, etc.  Felix played it safe and had fried chicken.
