New Orleans

Welcome to our new blog site.  Hopefully nobody has had a hard time finding us.  All is well here with us.  We are currently living in New Orleans, LA and will be here until sometime in June. Dan is doing a rotation for his residency here at Children's Hospital in pediatric orthopaedics. He is enjoying working with kids, but it breaks his heart to see them hurt.  His call schedule is heavier, but the nights are lighter as far as the calls he receives when compared to Genesys.  We are staying in some apartments provided by the hospital, so we are looking at this as a (nearly) free opportunity to check out another area of our beautiful United States.  I think that our favorite thing about Louisiana is the delicious food.  The odd thing is, our favorite restaurants happen to be Mexican.  YUM.  We also love the beautiful architecture.  The homes are all so unique and colorful.  Most of them have beautiful porches with white wooden rockers and a fan.  We are going to take notes so that we can incorporate the style into our own home someday.  So far we have visited the French Quarter and the Mississippi river.  We have seen a little of the devastation from Katrina upon entering New Orleans on the north-east side, but plan on taking a mapped route around soon.  We know some of you have visited the area, so let us know if you have any suggestions.
