Damn.
I'm feeling overwhelmed just thinking about it all. But in a good way. The best possible way actually. I can't fully begin to describe how wholesome my short lived time in New Orleans was. All I know is that it never felt so good to be in a new, yet seemingly familiar place, only to leave realizing, I had felt at home. I was at peace with my heart, my body and my mind. It was incredible. Magical even.
The people and their southern hospitality. Their REAL, laid back energy. The lack of fear of giving and receiving compliments and the instant spark of conversation there after.
The food. Po boys of all sorts, spicy scrumptious boiled craw daddies, seafood gumbo, overly powdered sugary beignets and some sultry iced black tea to wash it all down. I could have died a happy fat woman with all the food Nawlins had to offer.
Oh and the music. Oh god the music. I was in heaven on earth. This town eats, sleeps, and breathes good feeling music. Some venues stayed open till the break of dawn thumpin the good stuff.
If you ever want to be at the center of all the best things life has to offer, New Orleans is a must, especially during Jazz Fest. I was at the epicenter of all this this past month. I didn't want to leave. Brandon and I needed more time to fall even more in love with the beautiful city. We only left realizing we'd be back soon. We have every intention of coming back for Jazz Fest in the years to come and the possibility of creating a life out there. I will bombard you with photos of our time soon. I'm just trying to figure out where to begin.
