The Morning Of

Well it's 8:24am here in Santa Fe and I am all packed and ready to go. I was awakened by a call from a New Orleans photographer/resident who has offered to take us around if we needed.

When asked about what to see, he said we must see the 9th Ward as well as some of the empty FEMA trailer cities. I also asked him about Bush's "State of the Union" speech last night and he said people are livid because out of a 59 minute speech, our leader only had 3 sentences about the Gulf Coast.

This is going to be a very interesting and emotional trip for me.

I will write more when I get in to NOLA tonight.
