Last Week in NOLA

I'm back in SA. The last week in New Orleans was a blur. We worked very hard to get a lot accomplished in a short time. I did manage to find time to explore more of the city. Oh, and I went to the church festival on Sunday, June 3rd. They were celebrating Father Jerome's 50 years of service. He's vegan, too! It was a great event - puro New Orleans...

The shore along Lake Ponchartrain is so fertile and black.

Exploring the Lower Ninth Ward

Fried Pickels!!

So now I'll be in SA for 3 weeks working in the studio and helping install exhibitions at the gallery. Then I'm off to New York to complete the final part of this project. Whew!

I hope I get to see everyone I met in New Orleans again. If I don't, I have great memories that I'll keep forever - unless my mind goes with old age...jajaja! (Takashi, thanks for sharing your knowledge and humor. I look forward to seeing you and Nina in NYC! James thanks for the gelato and contemplative conversations/silence. Remember that Samuri's can't fight on an empty stomach. Becca it was great laughing with you about Takashi. Tuyene, Tuete, Stephanie, Louis and his crew at the studio...I enjoyed getting to know all of you. Steve Quick, it's so weird that you know Patricia Olynyk, remember to ask her about Chicken George! Audry, my friend, thanks for exploring that crazy city with me. )
