I also went to New Orleans to see the Monet exhibit. It was fantastic! I haven’t been to NO since then and we used to go every couple of years. I love that place but after Katrina I just didn’t want to see the change.
I haven’t been there since the Monet exhibit. I didn’t go back after Katrina, as I felt the changes would ruin the memories.
I did two ‘special active duties’ there at CNR in the early 80s, and although I considered it a sinful place, the city atmosphere and architecture were great.
