New Orleans, Louisiana

NOLA is like no other place on earth, I'm pretty sure of it.  I've never been to Las Vegas, but I have a feeling there is more sin in this city than out in Nevada.  But I loved every minute of being submerged in it.  

Being in the South is nothing like being in the Midwest.  I

t's more colorful.  It's more alive.  It's more friendly.  It's warm in every sense of the word.  This is how people live their lives.  They don't rush any where because they lack the sense of a need to hurry.  I guess it all started with trying to stay warm during the winter in the North that people needed to get places quickly.  Then it just stuck.  

I quickly picked up on this theory of how to live life.  It only took about 3 hour to figure out that in New Orleans, you can make plans.  You can set a time to meet and a destination.  But there is no way that those plans are going to actually manifest themselves that way.  That happens here, of course, but to a different extent. In the South, it is a way of life.   In the North, it just happens every once in awhile.  In New Orleans, you

 walk down the street, run into someone you know, and the flow now moves in a completely different direction.  It's fantastic. But slightly frustrating to a Midwesterner who likes to get things done in somewhat of a logical order. To someone in New Orleans, no one cares if anything is ever really accomplished.  All that matters is that whatever happened was enjoyable.
