I am currently in New Orleans. My entire family is out in the city, exploring and drinking hurricanes (a popular cocktail in New Orleans… Some how they’re comfortable with this name) while I’m in the hotel doing homework! Even though I had to take a day off the festivities, I’m still having a wonderful time. The culture here is entirely different from anything I’m used to. Everyone is constantly in a fantastic mood, people are drinking alcohol in to-go cups on the street in the middle of the day, every other building is a strip club, the food is fantastic and horses are a very common form of transportation. I can’t decide whether this place exists solely for tourists, or if people actually live here, in which case, they must all live fabulous lives, because every day is a party for these people.
I want to live in New Orleans.

You are correct…it is odd that the population there is fine with the irony of the Hurricane beverage! I’ve never been to New Orleans, either, but you describe it how I would imagine it! I think it seems like a great place to go to and party for a bit. It sounds certainly MUCH different than the Detroit area! Glad you had a good time with your family…your grandpa sounds like a hoot.
