Hello -- today we saw a lot of contrasts. We saw parts of New Orleans that still show the impact of Hurricane Katrina - it was hard to imagine just how high the water was, especially in the 9th Ward. One of the pictures I'm posting is the Hurricane Katrina memorial. The blue posts show how high the water got in that area - over 16 feets in many places. Then we drove over the bridge and headed toward Tulane the street leading there was lined with huge mansions.. It's hard to imagine these two areas are both in the same city. We also got to see the section of the 9th Ward where Brad Pitt and his foundation are building new energy efficient homes. The red house is one of the homes that has been built
Also one of the pictures here has writing on it - this is the markings used by the people who came to help right after the hurricane - they show the date they came to check on the house to make sure people and pets got out. It was a sad reminder of just how bad the hurricane was.
We are driving to Little Rock tomorrow morning - very EARLY. I can't wait.

Thank you for sharing the picture of the memorial, Anika. I had heard and seen how high the water was, but seeing it with the posts helped me to understand what those numbers really meant. I also found the markings on the houses interesting. I can't imagine being one of the rescue workers who had to search and record what was found.
