New Orleans the Crescent City

Much as I wanted to go to World Trade Center Memorial in Manhattan, I can't do it for now. If I'll do that, I would be late for Game 5 between New Orleans Hornets and Dallas Mavericks. As of this writing, Hornet's leads the series 3 games to 1. And this game will be the deciding factor.





I think I have to put-on my virtual reality Dream Machine to move faster. If not, from New York, I have to travel down South-East to Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky (i'll be here some other time for sure, to feel the blue grass), Tennessee, Mississippi, and finally to Louisiana.





When we talk about New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina comes out readily in our mind. Such a tragic event to the people of New Orleans and also to the surrounding areas as well. A total devastion, if I may say. But life must go on. And it did. New Orleans today is alive and kicking. The place is ready for you...
