Seven years after New Orleans suffered a catastrophic flood
damage from hurricane Katrina, 'rude' Isaac is now causing widespread damage
too. You have probably seen many images
of New Orleans struggling with the storm; So I thought I could show you the
other face.
New Orleans is such an interesting and unique city. The
funny thing is I felt that this city was familiar to me; I would say that is
kind of a Richmond, but fancier. It’s not like a tall and modern city like New
York or Chicago. New Orleans has soul and history.
La Nouvelle-Orléans was a french colony back in 1718 and its
name came from the French city of Orléans. Although the city remained under
Spanish control from 1783 until 1801, Napoleon sold the territory to the United
States in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
New Orleans (often called NOLA, New Orleans Lousiana) has
this distinct French Creole architecture that I really like, it is the
birthplace of jazz (how cool is having your lunch/dinner with the sound of jazz?! Love it!) and it is
also famous for its cuisine and its annual celebrations and festivals like
Mardi Gras (Carnival).
I think the pictures show what I’m trying to explain ;) Enjoy!
