Houma, Louisiana, 15 juillet Laisser les bons temps rouler comme disent les cajuns... Et bien j'ai roulé pas mal ces derniers jours et depuis la Floride, me voilà maintenant aux porte du pays cajun dans le delta du Mississippi. La côte ouest de la Floride, de Naples à Tampa, offre plus ou moins le même paysage que celle de l'est, si ce n'est qu'un sable beaucoup plus blanc et une eau un peu plus verte! Je me suis baigné à St-Pete Beach, près de St-Petersburg, et vraiment la plage est magnifique. Mais le décor de condominiums, de fast-food, de mini-putt (sport [View Full Entry]

Heather Says I loved New Orleans from the moment we arrived. The weather is still hot but it's very muggy as opposed to dry like Vegas ... and it's very, very green! The majority of the architecture is French inspired; making the city look very old world and romantic. Then there is Bourbon Street !!!! We went for dinner along here each night and then hit the "strip" for some cheep drinks ($1 beers and $5 Jager's = awesome!). very friendly, southern style hostitality wherever we went and we ended up having a few massive nights bar hopping around the place.

Sorry for the long delay. The good news is I now have finished my master's and can focus my energy on posting pictures of our trip. Here we go: From Pensacola we drove to New Orleans, the French Quarter, where we had lunch. We then drove north through Louisiana and stopped in Natchitoches, where we had a delicious dinner of meat pies before continuing on to Dallas, Texas, to stay with Nickey's brother, Leo.

Hi Guys I've just come out of New Orleans, Louisiana. Had a great time! Went on a steam boat on the Mississippi. Held a snake. Played in a band on Bourbon Street. Drank grenades. Got chatted up by sexy american biker boys. Bourbon Street is amazing. It's like a cross between amsterdam and watford. Haven't made it sound great, but trust me, it was brilliant! Just to let you all know, I'm coming home early on July 11th. Will be having drinks at the Papermill from 8pm on July 12th. All are welcome. I'm now in Arkansas having driven through Tennesse.

Test post from June 10 -- 8 days before departure This evening I registered with Travelblog so that I can get a head start on recording my travel to Den Haag, Netherlands. This site seems ok so far. I still haven't figured out photo-hosting, so I may have to host with another site. Things are picking up steam. Each day passes with the quickness of a rabbit or sharply drawn breath as the rollercoaster bends below the horizon. Everything has been purchased. All is in order. Waiting... {Edit} So I have to save, then add photos. You really wanted to know [View Full Entry]

So last time we left off I was just about to leave Missippi to go to transition. Well transition was a nice break because we had sweet rooms and big queen sized beds all to ourselves. It actually got somewhat boring because there was little to do. Well with out project we were suppose to be finishing building our housing and then move in and then get started on working on rebuilding houses. Well it's been 5 weeks and it may be ready to move in on friday. The project as a whole was a bit of a letdown. We spent [View Full Entry]

Wow i dont think i've ever been as hot as i have while walking down the street in New Orleans. So i arrived after a 12 hour train journey. To what i knew and had read is a pretty sketchy city. Basically if you walk outside of the tourist area's something is gonna happen that wont be good. I must admit i didn't put it to the test but even when walking down one street on the edge of the french quarter you notice people looking at you. Maybe thats because it was 12pm 33C and i had on some clarks [View Full Entry]
