A warm, heavy lashing of rain welcomed us as we made the final approach to New Orleans yesterday. You know... just to keep us on notice. The trip across the rest of the Florida panhandle, Alabama and Mississippi was more or less uneventful... except for this massive traffic jam just outside Mobile. I think I managed to cover 10 miles in an hour, inching along, no end in sight... until we finally reached the tunnel that shoots you under Mobile (and looks uncomfortably like a a giant white drain as designed by Steve Jobs.)
This morning's agenda: wander to the French Quarter to look around and buy a metric shit-ton of postcards. Check my Twitter feed (@swierczy) for pics and such. This afternoon I'll be wandering over to the Garden District (and Uptown) to visit Octavia Books and the Garden District Bookshop, and will offer a full report later.
Is it possible that I'm adjusting to Central Time, still? Feeling a little dislocated... then again, that could just be the Big Easy working on me.
Postcard update: None now, but look for a whole mess of 'em later.
