The first picture was actually taken on the 29th. I was waiting on the gallery of a bar on Bourbon Street (yes, THAT Bourbon Street) for my friends Becky and Mark to join me.
The other pics were taken on New Year's Eve. At midnight the sky above the river erupted with a massive display of fireworks that lasted about 20 minutes.
I finally got back to my campground around 2 in the morning. When I woke, I was confused to find messages on my phone from family and friends asking if I was OK. When I found out what had happened (if you don't know, Google "New Orleans New Year's attack). I had a sick feeling in my stomach the rest of the day. Flags are still hanging at half-staff here. I get a pang in my guts when I see one.
Very sad.
Glad you're safe.
