We arrived!
We arrived after a very early flight. It was amazing to see how different the airport looks after only a year. Last year, we had to get our rental vans from a trailer in the airport parking lot. Now, there are car rental kiosks on the bottom floor of the airport. There are flat screen TVs and vendors. It looks like a regular airport.
We took a trip to see New Orleans. We saw the 9th Ward. It was amazing to see a camp of pink tents set up by the Make It Right campaign. I believe that is the one Brad Pitt is supporting, to build environmentally friendly houses. It was nice to see a ray of hope where otherwise nothing has been done. The gutted houses are still there, and so are the spray-painted messages such as "SPCA dog dead inside." Definitely very depressing.
Thanks for checking the blog.
