My Favorite Place

I've done quite a bit of traveling in my life to this point. My favorite place that i've visited has to be New Orleans. I went in 2004, one year before Hurricane Katrina devastated the city, and had a wonderful time. I enjoyed the Cajun food, Jazz music, and overall laid back atmosphere of New Orleans. I spent most of my time exploring the French Quarter and experiencing all that the culture of New Orleans has to offer. Though I went in July and the weather was unbelievably hot, the people were extremely friendly and accommodating. Southern hospitality at its finest! I sincerely hope that all parts of New Orleans, not just the French Quarter, will be restored to its original state prior to Katrina.
