New Orleans

A bit of a crazy weekend.

Some highlights:
1. A slow speed rescue of a friend who wound up incoherant and lost in the wrong side of town.

2. Deciding that begging for beads is stupid. Later, deciding that my entire evening depending on getting said beads, plus a boa, stickers, and other random things thrown by men on floats.

3. Getting hit by a float in my attempt to achieve #2.

4. Eating at Cafe DuMonde with Jared and realizing that the food there was far better than the food at home.

5. Learning that the Day's Inn on Canal Street is absolutely gross. Do not stay there.

6. Laying in the grass in the French Quarter Park and just relaxing.

7. Having a psychic tell me that 1) I worry too much 2) She sees me working in the news 3)In Atlanta 4) And there, meeting someone who I will quickly fall in love with forever 5) And I worry too much (This was emphasized a great deal)

We really didn't get to see a lot of the devastation that still exists there, besides hearing stories of how many of the best psychics are still out of there homes and therefore aren't working in the area yet.

It was amazing to spend time with so many other teams and celebrate Rose's 22nd birthday!
