BFG Rave Runs: New Orleans LO

Jan 6, 2008

New Orleans, Lousiana. Renowned for the French Quarter and the city of jazz. One of the country’s oldest churches, the triple-spired 1794 St. Louis Cathedral is found on Jackson Square.

This is my third visit (first in 1994) but the first since Hurricane Katrina. Not much time for sightseeing, but made time for an easy 4k run along New Orleans Riverfront. That was also the weekend for the BIG game - the Allstate BCS Championship Game - Ohio State university vs Lousiana State University. (For the record, LSU beat OSU 38-24) Two predominant colors that weekend - red (OSU) and purple (LSU).

A perfect end to a leisurely 4k (spent mostly snapping pictures!)
