My sister gave me a hard time tonight about the infrequency of my blog posts. Meh. But then I realized that I had yet to post my photos and videos from my trip to New Orleans...from November. It was a three day trip over Halloween Weekend. I traveled down for work, but went a day early for pleasure.
First day: Voodoo Music Festival and Florence + the Machine. Photos and videos below.
Second day: (Halloween) professional tour of the city with my international visitors, more Voodoo, and a stroll down Bourbon Street. I never want to be in NOLA again during a festival. It's just not very enticing or really that interesting for a sober LDS girl.
Third day: work, good food, live jazz in a club, and beignets at Cafe du Monde.
Last day: crisis management, then flight back to DC.

| Houses from Brad Pitt's Make It Right Foundation. The project has been met with scrutiny because they're not building homes in the same style as the classic NOLA houses. |

| Tuba that you could sign with chalk. I'm not sure why. |

| My wrist band that was near impossible to get off. |
Don't judge me for my poor videos. My screen on my camera is dead, so I was pretty much guessing with every video. I think I did pretty well considering that.
