New
Orleans - Hurricane Katrina Update
 by

September 1, 2005
Just a
couple months ago, we were delighted to spend a full week in New
Orleans touring the sites, visiting the attractions, eating the
food, and sharing this wonderful city with the visitors and
people who live in it. Having the memories and smells
fresh in our minds, we were personally devastated to watch the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as this beautiful character-rich
city was flooded due to a break in the levee.
Gadget
Gals recently made a contribution to the
American Red Cross to
help out with this disaster, which they are calling their
largest response ever to any event or incident. We made
this donation as a way of saying thanks to the dozens of New
Orleans residents and businesses who hosted us and fed us and
taught us so much about this city during our visit. We
hope that others who share our love for this delightful city
will also contribute to the reconstruction effort.
The road
ahead for the folks in New Orleans is going to be long and
difficult, but we are looking forward to returning again to the
"new" New Orleans after the city is rebuilt and tourism is
welcomed back.
