24 hrs in New Orleans. John stayed with Ivo while I got to go out and see Luke's band. They had a good time, and stayed up till 2 in the morning! The next day we had lunch with Luke and Meghann at Elizabeth's. When our food came, the waitress offered to hold Ivo while we ate. He laughed and smiled with her like crazy. I'm getting the feeling this kid isn't shy. Then we went on a tour of the destruction from Katrina, through the lower 9th ward, and New Orleans East. It still looks like it happened yesterday, but Luke and Meghann assured me that it's actually a lot better than it was. Thankfully their house was spared, but the city has lost a lot of it's spark and craziness. It's more somber now, like an extended hangover. Luke and Meghann had fun with the baby, and even talked about having one of their own! But only if they get a monster truck to drive their family around in.
