Post in Pictures

Due to my lack of posting, this post will be pictures of our adventures over the last three weeks. They are in no particular order and I won't bore you with long stories/descriptions of each. (I'll bore you with short statements/descriptions.) I will say this though, the french quarter is neat, beignets are yummy-and addicting, and New Orleans is fun to explore.

As a side note, I'm glad we are only here for a few months. This place is very unsettling. I don't understand the people who live here. They say they are church going, bible reading people and yet they live in a city that floods every few years and it is so hot here I'm beginning to feel we are living in a place where the devil lives. - - - Isn't the flooding of evil cities and the burning of the wicked a pretty common theme in scripture? If I was a resident here I would take those as major hints that this place is doomed, and I would find a new place to live!!!

Anyways, onto the pics!
