We are Safely at Home in Our Hotel in New Orleans

Click on the title to see the hotel's web page.

We left Tallahassee about 10am in a green Pontiac Montana four wheel drive van. It was 400 miles to New Orleans and we got here by 5 pm.

Our hotel is very nice - the Royal Sonesta Hotel - at 300 Bourbon Street. It has parking in the basement - and a court yard with a pretty pool. We are right in the center of all the action.

Rachel and Tiglet drove over with us. They are in a hotel a couple blocks away.

Our hotel is very close to St. Charles Square.

The properties and trees coming in on I-10 was breathtaking - the mess they are in. Just blocks and blocks of destroyed homes and apartment - personal stuff still littered all over.

I brought the folding bikes along to tour around and take pictures.

It is going to be an interesting 6 days.
