All the places i went to 'find' myself are being washed away by hurricanes...
so, for those of you that don't know, back when i graduated high school, i did the whole 'journey to find myself' thing. I accompanied a friend of mine who was moving cross country, and we road tripped from lancaster, sc, to ellensburg, washington. It was an amazing trip. Just Laura, Myself, and her car full of her stuff.
well, while on this trip, we would stop at a different city or town each night and go out and try to take in the culture. The first big city we stopped in was new orleans. It was a first time visit for both of us, and despite the fact that we didn't realize that the city was primarily ghetto, we had an amazing time. We did the ghost tours, visited some clubs and bars in the quarter (and saw rasputina, score!), and visited the cemetaries and all that jazz...chris and i were planning on going on our first true vacation together to new orleans for halloween...and then katrina came...
After new orleans, the next city on our stop was Beaumont, Texas. Beaumont is a tiny little port town, not far from port arthur. it's very small and quaint, and when we were there, they were doing a lot of work to clean up the town and renovate the old buildings and such. Well, Rita is predicted to make landfall somewhere between galveston and port arthur...and guess where beaumont is located?
I'm already sending positive energy that way...once rita hits, there's not going to be much of beaumont left...
at least i still have my pictures...
