Wow, what a blast I had…and all in two days!! My visit was far better than I ever expected. There was so much I still didn’t get to see. I did view some of the Katrina wreckage but did not take any pictures of it. In all, I took seventy pictures, so if you want to see the rest, visit my album on Photobucket.
