After Faith was sworn in to office on November 12th, she was able to attend the National League of Cities conference in New Orleans. I decided to tag along and sight see during the day while she was at sessions since I'd never been to New Orleans before. I went on a Katrina Devastation Tour, a Swamp Tour, and drove to Biloxi and Gulf Port Mississippi and Alabama. It was a very eye opening experience to see how wide spread the devastation actually was and just how far rebuilding is from being complete. I also did the typical tourist stuff such as the French Quarter (including Bourbon Street), a Cemetery Tour, and a visit to Cafe Du Monde for Beignets.
