I’ve just arrived back in New Orleans for a second visit, after catching a serious case of the smittens for the city when I was here in March.
It’s one of those places that catches hold of people – I’ve lost count of the stories I’ve heard from people here, who arrived on holiday however many years back and never did manage to leave. It’s always “I came down here to party after college graduation…and never left,” or “I came down here 16 years ago… been here since.”
