This was taken this morning after we ate breakfast in the Saint Louis Hotel. Following breakfast we packed up and headed for the Superdome. Cindy Soresen is a major New Orleans Saints fan and he promised she could go to the Superdome. We tried to get her in for a tour, but no go, probably with the Sugar Bowl....not a chance, but it was fun to see how excited my friend was to see the Louisiana Superdome.
As we left New Orleans you can still certainly see many of the remains of Hurricane Katrina. It was heartwrenching to see that nearly three years later New Orleans is still healing from the devastation. It has always been a dream of mine to take I-10 along the coast and that is where we are. I bridge over I-10 East of New Orleans was severely damaged during the hurricane and we had the opportunity to travel over it while it is still being repaired.
We arrived safe and sound in Jacksonville tonight around 7:30 p.m. We found out hotel with a minimal of difficulties except Ron cutting off some woman and totally ticking her off...other than that, we settled in and we re greated by several other Husker guests at our hotel. We decided that we would save up for tomorrow and get some rest, so after some Dominos pizza, we watched the OSU and Oregon Ducks game then went to sleepy time in Super 8.
i hate that i missed your visiting our great state....and i can not believe they are still working on that bridge!
