Wow, what a breakfast at Days Inn in Union City. We feasted on a sumptuous "continental" breakfast or Corn Flakes, Cherios and plastic wrapped pasties. Yummy.
Later start at 9am, fill up on gas (the cheapest so far at 3.69/gallon) and Krispy Kreame donuts. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and then Louisiana. Somewhere we switch to Central Time Zone. Trees turned to marsh and swamp before the first sign of Katrina. It was like Oliver had gone through Ava's toys and bend them in half. In this case it was the freeway signs, all neatly folder about 6 feet from the ground and bent over covering the directions. Its not funny that this was two and half years ago, surely they could have fixed the sings by now.
Coming into town, there were boarded up houses and all the other icons that you have seen a millions time before, but the reality struck of what happened here. But its a tale of two cities, the French Quarter looked untouched. Yes, there were a few "for sale" signs, but on the surface business looked to be good and plenty of people spending money.
Dinner at Mulate's, lots of yummy food and a live band. Both kids danced, especially when the "choo choo" was payed. And then collapse for it had been a very long day.
