Low key day today. I have to leave early tomorrow morning, and due to my delayed hotel reservations, I have to stay out near the airport, making getting into downtown New Orleans expensive and time consuming. So I took a nice walk around some of the lake and sat there for a while just watching the waves splash in. There's a huge levy around the way around here. I continued walking on top of the levy for a long time (until I realized I didn't bring any water and I was surely getting dehydrated). To one side is the lake. To the other, a suburb of distinct homes, most with pools (forget about that... it's such a foreign idea now, having lived in the Northwest for 10+ years) and some with tennis courts. The levy was so high that my head was even with most of the roof tops.
