Voodoo and the blues......

Having flown from LA via Atlanta to New Orleans, we finally arrived to the sounds of the blues.

We didn't know what to expect.
Three years ago the whole area was completely devastated when hurricane "Katrina" hit.

Very quickly we learned that 3 years on, there is still lots of work yet to do.
Extensive work is being carried out all across the area, to repair the damage.
And there are still homes, that are yet to be cleared and rebuilt.

We heard many stories of how people who survived coped during this terrible time and how they are now rebuilding their lives.
The residents having experienced this awful tragedy, couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly.

We throughly enjoyed our time there, before heading off on our road trip to Orlando to meet up with family.....
