New Orleans--A Sandals Vacation!

At some point while lying on the blue porch spring and looking through the spanish-revival archway and further into our yard to the terra-cotta tiles and olive tree, I wondered why we can't just secede and declare ourselves the capitol of the Caribbean.

Apparently, James O'Byrne is a kindred spirit: "Once you stop thinking of New Orleans as one of the worst-run cities in America, and start thinking of it as the best-run city in the Caribbean, it all makes sense."

Maybe not the best thing said about nola, but I'll admit it rings true.
