New Orleans is back! I had the privilege of seeing this first hand on a trip I took in May of 2007 to make this series of videos. You may think I made this trip because of my shrimp Po Boy cravings, but that was not the case. I made the trip because I was certain that the best way I could help this historic town recover was to go there and support the local businesses. In light of the devastation the residents had lived through, what I found was really incredible . It wasn’t a “please help us” feeling I had feared (due partly to the poor television news coverage), it was more of a “we are glad you’re here” feeling. It’s hard to explain, but you’re just going to have to explore New Orleans for yourself to get the picture. Our trip was about 4 days which wasn't nearly long enough. We’ll definitely always return to New Orleans.
