there is a house in new orleans, they call the rising sun
New Orleans has a certain je ne sais quoi about it. It’s dark, seedy, mysterious, and a little bit dangerous. And that’s the appeal, like someone you know you shouldn’t be attracted to, because with them, you might will make questionable choices. In short, New Orleans is most relationships in your twenties, with the notable exception that you actually should keep going back.
The Crescent City has done an incredible job rebuilding after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, demonstrating the irrepressible spirit of its people. There is so much pride in the preservation of their city, their traditions, their culture and as a visitor it is so easy to be seduced by the magic that envelopes you when you arrive.
I recently had the chance to spend three days there, but that’s never enough. The air is just different, there’s some mystical voodoo that grabs a hold of your soul and doesn’t let go. The Big Easy, she stays with you, long after you’ve left her. For she knows, it’s just a matter of time until the next rendezvous.
Laissez les bon temps rouler…
