We had a great visit to New Orleans. The first pic is of us trying to fly kites with the Settoons off of the levee at Lake Ponchartrain. In the next one, Ben has discovered his Easter basket! Much candy was eaten... We also had some delicious boiled crawfish and in the pic you can see Thomas sucking the head for flavor. This was a special treat - Thomas got them from the same place that catered our wedding rehearsal dinner so many years ago (and I still remember how good those tasted back then). We got this picture of an alligator on a swap tour that we did with Elizabeth. Very interesting seeing a swamp in its natural state with animals, too. We saw several alligators, plus snakes and herons. And finally, we got to visit Sarah's graves which was a special time for us as well. Here's a pic of her marker at Ponchatoula. It was especially nice for me to be able to stand for a bit at these two sites. The stone marker looked good. Simple yet elegant in a classic style - just like Sarah would have wanted. It was definitely emotional for me to visit the sites, but it also felt good - like I had a strong connection to her there in the "places."

Dude, we don't have crocadiles here! Just plain ole alligators! Glad you had a good trip. I am meaning to make a trip over to Ponchatoula myself for Sarah.

Woops! I got carried away - just changed "crocadiles" to "alligators" in the post. :)
