heartbreakingly beautiful

It's trite to start a post saying that a picture paints a thousands words...but there's often simply no better way to convey a feeling, a color, a mood or a story.

I wish we'd taken more pictures, I wish we'd had more energy and motivation to be those people that constantly had their cameras ready...

I wish you could understand the heartbreaking beauty that we saw day in and day out...I wish I was back in New Orleans.


Bourbon Street, colorful, vibrant, decadent....you would not be complete without a Mango Mango at each corner!




The French Quarter was charming...





delightful...



and decrepit, all at the same time...




We saw the Bayou in all of its glory...



And we were witness to culture, proud and true....




We saw heartbreak....



But we also saw beauty...




and pride...
