Wondering About New Orleans

Several of you have asked why I did not like New Orleans.
I will start off by saying that there were parts of New Orleans that I did enjoy, but, overall, I wasn’t very fond of it.  Here is why:

I tend to get a feeling about things, a sixth sense or something like that.  And while we were in New Orleans, especially certain areas, I had a really bad feeling.  A feeling like there was evil there.  It made me really uncomfortable.  And to add to that, I had a very strange experience that I cannot explain (and that my husband thinks I am overreacting about- he tends to be much more logical than I do): we were walking in the French Quarter on Decatur Street, and all of a sudden something took my breath away and I saw what looked like a skull out of the corner of my eye.  I turned to look and absolutely nothing was there, just the brick front of a building.  It was very strange and unsettling.  To add to that, we walked past several people who were obviously involved in the occult (or at least dressed like they were) and several Voo-Doo places.

Of course I can’t leave out Bourbon Street, which I call “Sin City 2″.   To me, a place where people go just to get drunk, party and go to strip clubs is not somewhere worthwhile.  We really didn’t fit in at all.  I would much prefer a place where I can see different cultures without being slapped in the face with pornography and drunkenness.

I did enjoy the time that we spent visiting the churches and other touristy places.  My husband and I both appreciated the hours that we spent in the car driving around Louisiana, from Baton Rouge to Slidell and even the Ninth Ward; although, the Lower Ninth Ward was a bit scary and heartbreaking at the same time.

So, Anastasia, I would recommend asking your husband to go to the conference in Honolulu.  I think Honolulu would be much more fun!
