Notes from New Orleans

I kept a kind of journal while down in New Orleans this past summer, in which I sometimes wrote entries and, much more often, jotted brief notes of my feelings, activities, and daily expenses. Here are a few of the early writings from that trip, starting on the plane and progressing to my first and [...]
