Kate's place is located in a very funky part of New Orleans...I felt in the midst of the real city at all times and by the end of my stay, felt like I had absorbed some of its better elements. I enjoyed simply walking the streets and taking pictures, ate at some wonderful restaurants, all of which were warm, friendly and served up some soul-nurturing food. I picked up on some of the struggles folks had to endure to make it this far back from Katrina and am in awe of this city's people. I am now honored to say I spent some wonderful time there, and want to thank Kate for giving me a wonderful home base from which to explore. Anyone looking to rent in the heart of New Orleans should call her up and discuss booking...they won't be sorry. Here's to you new Orleans...may we hang out again sometime soon!
