New Orleans

So I had to go down to New Orleans this morning to pick up my films from the doctor's office, which is in a more residential area than where I usually go. It's sobering to see, almost three years later, how much destruction there still is. Abandoned houses with clear hurricane damage, houses still with the FEMA codes on them, on-going construction projects everywhere, debris piled on the side of the street. It's like not all that much has changed in some areas.

On the other hand, after I picked up my films I got hot chocolate and beignets from Café du Monde and ate them on the Riverwalk while listening to a saxophone busker before heading back so the trip wasn't completely horrible and depressing.
