Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under taxes and frauds and maladministrations so that it has become a study for archaeologists...but it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio". Lafcadio Hearn wrote these words back in 1880's but some words ring true today. People of New Orleans are the true gem of the Cresent City; come and see for yourself. The people of NOLA will romance you and love you back especially Susan. They welcome you like a long lost family member right down to the homemade cookies! After you are finished with the beads and cheesy drinks, head to Bywater and stay at Susan's Ravenwood Manor. You will not regret.
