Nawlins

I went for a week this November, as I do every year, to the Supercomputing Conference. This year it was held in New Orleans. The weather down there was perfect, and for non-vegetarian folks the food was great too. We went down and visited the 9th ward was heavily damaged when the levees failed during Hurricane Katrina. I have a ton of pix from there, but I'll just post a few stand outs. New:

Old:

We stayed in the warehouse district which has lots of museums and Art studios. Here's a cool piece I found:

I think Sophia would have really liked the Children's Museum:

And then I came home and got Sophia a new fish for her birthday!

The end.
