So here we are in New Orleans. La Nouvelle Orleans, as the local bumper 
stickers have it. We've been looking for a refuge in the USA since leaving Haiti in July 2005 as refugees from the political violence there.
We found a half double on 
Lowerline St. Here is the moving in picture. We moved in early in January 2008. Lucienne spent a frantic few weeks hunting for furniture. An amazing amount of furniture is given away free on the kerb around here. After buying some more there is surplus furniture piled up beside the house, waiting for discovery of a method of shipping a container to Port au Prince from here.
Mardi Gras in New Orleans? our first? Ok, we went down to St Charles et Napoleon to watch the parades and catch lucre, largent thrown from the floats.
