I went down to New Orleans for four days of work, fun, and food. Instead, I walked away with a huge love affair for a city that helped me rediscover passion, inner peace, newfound friendships, and the realization that I had the answers to my questions all along. My heart is full. In the immortal words of Hermann Hesse, "If I know what love is, it is because of you". The culture and mystery of New Orleans were a great inspiration to me and have made my 2011 journey that much sweeter....
My new Françoise Gilot piece that I purchased. It reminded me of this magical night, so I had to have it!
Great photos. New Orleans can change a night, a week, a life. Now I'm wondering how long before I can get back there myself.
ReplyDeleteIt had been 13 or 14 years since my last NOLA visit. I am not letting a decade pass next time!
ReplyDeleteI moved to New Orleans (kicking and screaming) in 2008 because of work. When they asked me to move back to Houston, I left kicking and screaming. NOLA is an amazing place with wonderful people and an amazing history. I loved looking at your pictures - they really make me miss it even more! I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did :)
ReplyDeleteAw, I hope you get to visit often. It is such a magical place. How lucky for you that you had several years living there. I am jealous!
