as well as a short walk around the Garden district - where we saw Jefferson Davis' home, Newcomb College--the first degree-granting to women, Commander Palace's restaurant, and the Lafayette Cemetry.

But more importantly, to support the city -- please go visit yourself. There's no place in the U.S. like New Orleans, and we should all be moved to support this community that has suffered so tremendously (and still suffers in the areas East of the city and other more rural areas of LA), through the wanton and willful neglect of local, state and federal officials and agencies, in the face Katrina and the wake of the levee failure.

As the slogan we saw throughout the city said -- Return, Rebuild, Renew New Orleans! Visit for yourself, support the city through www.volunteermatch.org or other means to help. Let's take care of our own!
