Travel Season!

Last weekend, we started the Holiday Season with a wonderful weekend in New Orleans. Melissa had to go to the 'Big Easy' for a conference on tropical diseases (ASTMH). Since neither of us had been there before, we decided that we should make it a fun trip and Luc came along for a short vacation! New Orleans is a great town.


We mostly walked around the French Quarter (which wasn't affected by Hurricane Katrina), enjoyed the street music - live blues and jazz at every corner - and went to a couple of jazz clubs. The city, the people, tourism, and the jazz all seem to be doing well in New Orleans! We loved it!

Oh, and yes, Melissa enjoyed her conference too! :-)
