Tops and Bottoms

A few stolen moments on the streetcar allows for a bit of knitting, but for the most part we have been "on the move"!  TIP: If you visit New Orleans, ask at your hotel desk about a VisiTour Pass.  For $12, your pass will allow you to hop on and off the trolleys and buses as many times as you'd like for three days! We get one whenever we visit.

We've spent the past couple of days doing a bit of geocaching.  As many times as I've been to New Orleans, I've never seen it from this vantage point. Nothing quite like being at the "top" of the city!  Absolutely beautiful!!!

One of the wonderful aspects of this city is that it would be difficult to run out of things to do.  Each time that we've been here, we do a few of our favorite things and then try out a few new things.  The aquarium & zoo are spectacular, 40 museums would keep you busy for awhile and, of course, riding the streetcar never gets old! However, Geocaching this time allowed us to look at the city from an entirely different point of view...literally and figuratively!

Something else is that we took a ride to the end of the delta...to Venice...Louisiana, that is. This is the heart of "ground zero" for Hurricane Katrina.  The rebuilding is an interesting thing to see.  Both the size and the scope hits both ends of the spectrum...but we'll save that for another day.

As for my girls, they have now been to both ends of the Mississippi River. They've walked across through the headwaters and played at the edge of the southern delta...at the bottom of Louisiana.
