It is time for someone in the area to let you know that New Orleans is not a total lost. The French Quarter and Historical District made out well during hurricane Katrina and had the curfew lifted. If you are a adult you can party all night in the French Quarter. You and your family can tour the Historical District, and learn about the history of New Orleans. The Audubon Zoo has reopened on weekends until March 2006, then it will be the regular schedule here is the website http://ani.convio.net/site/PageServer The best part is you can become a member and make a donation, that will help to keep it on the list of top 5 zoos in the world or you can do the regular admission as support of this animal oasis. The animals were quite bored when the zoo was closed, they had gotten used to watching people just as you and me watch a movie or TV for amusement. The D-Day Museum has reopened for those of you with interest in WWII. The restaurants are open and no waiting in lines, what could be better then a fine meal without having to make reservations days or months ahead of time. Yes New Orleans is like a lady in a tattered dress at the end of the mouth of the Mississippi River, but she still has a lot to offer. Thank you for your prays and thoughts, but now is the time for you to be part of reviving New Orleans with your tourist dollars! New Orleans has always depended on the tax and tourist dollar and it is in need of it more then ever since Katrina. Yes everyday something new is opening and Mardi Gras this coming year will be one of the safest since crime is at a all time low. Please do come to New Orleans to show your support, thank you ever so much for reading this and thinking of New Orleans.
