I am a continent away but I live there in my dreams, and there is little in this world to compare to a walk through the leafy streets of the Garden District, past one glorious Greek Revival mansion after another. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that I ever left New Orleans and I wonder if somehow I can be spirited back there. I found your entire description interesting. --- Friends and family tell me the city is rebuilding valiantly, with new restaurants opening every day, and new improvements happening constantly.

Please, when you visit, also take one of the disaster tours. It is interesting and very informative. Everyone knows how the media, try as they might, rarely manage to convey information accurately. We locals really want visitors to understand our catastrophe & recovery. You will likely be amazed by your misconceptions about NOLA, Katrina and everything else that has happened since the levee failures if you take the tour. CrescentCityRay A NOLA local here…
