In Which Olivia Travels to New Orleans Without Any Sunscreen...

Ow.

Hello everyone! Oy vey am I sore right now. But nonetheless so content! I had the greatest weekend in New Orleans. I can't wait to share some photos. Until then, I would like to urge you that should the spirit move you, and you have a little extra money saved, get thee to New Orleans! Just a couple of days and I feel like a new person. Food, music, history... the infectious spirit of the city is incredible. I have never met so many kind people in all my life. They are so appreciative of guests to the city and are so eager to share their favorite recommendations. More to come later. Right now I'm headed for the sleep of the dead...

If you get a few hours, I highly recommend reading "1 Dead in Attic," a collection of newspaper columns by a New Orleans writer that cover Katrina and the year afterwards. Parts can be truly heartbreaking, but it's just an incredible book about New Orleans and the kind of people who make it up (and who put it back togeether).

Wish I could have been there!
