Hauntings in New Orleans

hi everyone,

Well the bike tour has really got to that point where things just seem to be flying past , you would think that life goes really slowly as we can only go 80-100km a day but in a week that is a long way- there is so much to see and even though we are going the slow way there really seems to be so little time.

Anyway two days ago we went to NEw orleans - I really didn't know what to expect- thinking that hurricane katrina would have left very little behind - but infact we really didn't see any evidence of the hurricane - we did the usual touristy things like going to the french quarter of town and seeing all the art shops and bars and music and jazz clubs and of course the numerourous sex stores ( which makes a little country boy like myself blush - in fact one of the working girls even shouted at me ( as i walked down the stress looking straight ahead) that she had never seen someone blush so much )

I also went on an evening hauntted city tour - which was really fun - the guide a "certified" ghost hunter has spent years investigating the paranormal in New Olearns and really blended the history and stories and people and culture of the place into a really entertaining evening.

anyway we are back on the road and will be in Austin texas in a few days ( home of Lance Armstrong) and tehn on to Mexico.

hope everyone is well

Andy
