Been to New O three times to visit with a land lady. All three times in the last of February or first of March. All three times we have visited family and friends on the way down and back. A year ago the time we chose to go just happened to put us there on Fat Tuesday. We darned near froze. 37 degrees and drizzling! My hand stung when I'd grab the beads they throw down from the balconies but nonetheless it was very interesting. I would love to be in the celebration on a warmer day. We stay with the land lady and one of her sons is always there to take us or lead us around town. She lives on the south side of the river not far from where the ferry docks so we can get on the ferry and get dropped off or drive our car off very close to where the activity is.
One of her sons is a carpenter. He took us around the old part of town and was telling us he did a remodeling job on this house and that house acting like the houses were plain old houses like we have here in Iowa. I couldn't keep my eyes off of the architecture of those buildings. Very interesting to say the least. Then he took us to the cemetery where his dad is buried. It was very different to say the least. We were walking in this miniature town of above ground tombs and mausoleums, some fancy and some plain. We Iowans have nothing that will compare to that. We can't go this year, but I sure would like to. Jim

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
