NOLA...???

April 17, 2010

NOLA is magic. Okay, NOLA is short hand for New Orleans, Louisiana, but it is still magic. Walking down the street can be an adventure around here. We heard a street band a couple of blocks away tonight. The street was blocked and traffic was a mess. In the middle of all this there was a party going on. People were dancing in the street, waving handkerchiefs, and the band was strutting from side to side.

Everyone was having a great time and then it was over. The crowd went inside a building. The band broke up. The police left and traffic started to move again. If you are quick there is a reward.
