You must come with me to visit New Orleans sometime. It is still the old south in a lot of ways (not all of them good). But we can sit on the veranda of an antebellum mansion on St. Charles Avenue and sip mint juleps while we watch the people go by. If we're lucky, the streetcar will be running again by then. And then we can go to the French Quarter for dinner at Antoine's and beignets at the French Market. There's nothing like a lazy day in New Orleans.
