I really enjoyed the photos of your trip. As a New Orleans natice, I;d like to point out a couple of interesting details:
1. The "Huge Swamp Bridge"in this pic <
http://207.44.234.41/xc/IMG_8426.JPG> is actually I-10 crossing over Lake Ponchartain. Nearby is the Cauesway Brigde over the Lake, which is the longest bridge in the world (some 24 miles in total).
2. The next pic "Power lines going into the ocean" is actually not the ocean, but Lake Ponchatrain - a 603 sq. mile body of water.
Pretty cool city - New Orleans. Did you enjoy your stay?
