I'm going to sum this up already. My mother bluntly told me that if she was american she would be shamed by what little progress New Orleans made. I mean come on people it's been how many years? The levy that broke was actually a straight concrete wall about a foot wide and 10 feet tall. Officials said that the wall broke because of how it was straight and other weird official reasons, do you know what they did to fix it? The new wall is...straight...about a foot wide....and 13 feet tall this time. Whoopee I bet New Orleans is feeling really safe now... Brad Pitt said somewhere in 2005-2006 that progress was going to be made in 3 years with his project of rebuilding houses. It's been three years and all the progress made by him were down in the last 6 months and the houses are BUTT UGLY!! (not to mentiont there's like five) Flooding seemed to be the thing people worried the most about hurricane damage. So to avoid flooding people started to build up and raise their houses higher. The problem being that when they asked the Government how high the houses can be raised of the ground they didn't have an answer. So now there is all these ridiculsly high houses and that exposes them to more wind damage.The fact is that New Orleans doesn't have the money to rebuild properly and the government is doing a screwy job in distributing it to them I've been there for 4 days and I even was able to see this. Jeez... On the side note Beignet (fried dough) are really quite tasty and the music over there was impressive. My sister was touring toulane (is that how it's spelled) and she was sitting with volunteered teachers during the provided lunch but there wasn't any room for me and my mom so we sat somewhere else. I ended up talking to the assistant director for marching band at that school...If anyone knows me personaly they know how outrageosly lucky I was. Apparently steel drum bands are not that popular in the south. weird.
Voodoo is scary and tarot cards are 22$ on average so no buying cards but I got a few dolls. Black magic is really scary. Thats all folks!
