The next day

The following morning began by having breakfast at a local restaurant. Good thing it was an all you can eat breakfast buffet because I was ready to eat something with substance besides the cereal bars and fast food we had been eating during most of the trip. Bacon and eggs sounded real good right about then. After having stuffed ourselves with real food we headed back to New Orleans via the Lake Pontchartrain causeway. I knew my eyes would see much more than they had the night before due to darkness being upon us then. As we drove across the causeway I took pictures of anything and everything that would substantiate our visit to this devastated place. This event will forever remain a part of our nations history and I was getting a first hand look at it. Once we arrived back in to New Orleans we took more pictures. What we saw seemed unreal. As we drove through communities large trees lay uprooted in yards and streets. Some trees were laying against houses with the roofs caved in. Piles of debris were stacked at nearly every house and street corner. Many of the homes were marked with spray paint to notify anyone who entered that a death or deaths had occurred.
