a document of days

Tomorrow we leave for New Orleans. Last spring, when we visited for the first time since Katrina, the trip was an emotional one. Almost three years had lapsed between the storm and our visit and we spent much of the time picking through the remains of our old neighborhoods, old hangouts, and old memories. We marveled at the places that had come through with barely a scratch, and lamented those that did not survive.  This time, we trek back to build more memories in a city that we love.

Ryan and I have made this visit to New Orleans an annual priority.  While young, we hope build upon this tradition for years to come.
