Photos from Louisiana trip 2007

OK, here are the photos you have been waiting for! Or maybe not... Either way, here are the photos from my trip to Louisiana, follow this link: http://www.sindea.org/NOLA07/

Also, these are mostly all in both B/W and color, so there are a ton of them. If anyone wants copies, let me know!

A few descriptions:
Toilet in NOLA airport, funky and kind of cool seat covers
Brick apt is my aunt's new home
Blonde lady with watercolor is my Aunt Virginia
Photos of vehicles is to show the lovebug fest that was going on
Photos of Madisonville Jr High reunion... (want names? let me know)
Photo of a bunch of ladies gathered around the computer: watching my cousin Wes propose to this fiance, in a link online!

Funny photo info about Deanna and I (close up with other blonde chic): look and you can see tears in my eyes, I kept having major giggle fits and we had a terrible time getting a decent photo because of me...

Photos with my friend Jason and his wife Jennifer

Bridge photos are just as I got on the Causeway, crossing the lake, world's longest bridge
Various photos around NOLA, some of places being re-built, and some showing the state of things not able to be improved or re-built.

Photos with Clay's best friend from high school in La. -Patrick and his family

Photos of my awesome friend Julie and her son Christian, who put me up while I was in Madisonville...

Photos of Uncle Jude and Mama Lou at their home, in front of their display using the inside of a piano (red);

The grave stones are of my brother, my grandparents, and my uncle. I was sad that they had weeds and grass grown over them, so did a before shot, and then cleared them as best I could while sweating and being covered in lovebugs!

Trees following that are covered in Spanish Moss...

Sites around Madisonville, La...

Gotta love a walnut shake and roast beef po boy from Badeaux's!!!

The first set of above ground graves are in the old Madisonville Cemetery.

Photos of all kinds of homes, some were just beautiful. Some I photographed to show either damage, or to show how they have been put up high on stilts in case of another horrible storm.

Empty lot with chain link fence is where my grandparents home once stood. Just after that are the homes right next to where it was, raised up high...

More sites around town, and then you see Covington High- wow! A serious remodel.

Then there is Jason, Captain of the fire department- way to go!

More bridge crossing photos, then hanging with my good friend Jennifer and her awesome family! (yes, I do like to photograph food)

More photos around the city, then onto the French Quarter. Did I mention that hot sauce REALLY stings when touched to an open cut? OW!

Last above ground graves are in NOLA...
