On The Road

I am in New Orleans as I write this. Driving into the city, coming in on I-10 past Chalmette and Gentilly, the place looks like a war zone. Buildings still stand, but they are abandoned. Many of their windows are blown out. I haven't been in the severely flooded areas. But the tourist part of the city seems almost normal -- except that there are very few people, compared to what I'm accustomed to seeing.

I'm not sure if I can take any photos of the badly affected parts of the city, as I am doing all of the driving. But, believe me, it's weird seeing the city for the first time after Katrina. Just eerie.
More later, I hope ...
