In the midst of terrible destruction, small signs of the beginning of recovery...

Cafe Du Monde in the historic French Quarter

New Orleans, LA - The destruction of large sections of New Orleans is beyond description. The city is still in a state of shock. However, there are a few small positive signs. The French Quarter is back in business but the visitors are scarce. Yesterday morning I was able to enjoy a cup of chicory flavored coffee at the reopened Cafe Du Monde.

Today I'm en route back to Massachusetts. I'll be reporting on my Louisiana trip in future postings.
