our trip 2 the cresent city 3 months after catrina
December 9, 2005
when we first arrived it was still a wild west type place,and a verry dangerous place. the busses were free and we spent allot of time riding around looking at the devistation.within a week we found jobs and were still living on the streets.the freedom tent was the place where we were able 2 get free food and that saved us.without that i dont know how we would have made it.soon i had an apt and so did dillon.i was working at Krystyls on bourban st and he at a little bar down the st. we partyed our buts off and ate cheep at some of the most famos places in the world.i soon tired of the grind and came home.but i,ll never forget it. and look forward 2 finding a new adventure buddy.as you can see im hardcore and willing 2 go way out on a limb to have adventure.i have hitch hiked many places 2 but i,de realy love 2 find someone 2 do these things with.would,nt it be cool 2 find a t rex scull? or a fat pocket of gold,rubies,emeralds silver orr or somthing? i think so someone likeminded look me up please. jimwest3882@yahoo.com

my trip to the cresant city with dillon
Dillon and i went to new orleans looking for work and were soon employed.We probably made a mistake taking the first jobs we found though.there were many good paying jobs we missed.It was still a verry dangerous place, and your best bet was to stay on or near bourban ST to be safe.We took a greyhound and arived with about 100$ between us and a few clothes.But things worked out and we had the time of our lives.I WOULD NEVER GO ALONE.Be carfull and walk down the middle of the ST,the bad guys hide in the sunken doorways and you,l wake up in the hospital with empty pockets. mardy gras was fun if you like huge crowds,way loud music,strong drinks and bare bresteses. Directly across canall ST from bourban ST is a greek gyro joint the food is plenty and verry good. after about 8.00 PM the only place to eat is KRYSTALS and its expencive so eat early.
