Last week I was fortunate enough to make it back to New Orleans for the fourth time this year which is almost humorous to me after never managing to pass through this captivating city until this past February. The trip was a quick four days, a final escape before the rush of the holidays and also a hopeful break from the steadily declining temperature here in Athens. Unfortunately an overnight downpour brought dramatically chilled weather only after hours of arriving to our destination. Even though the wind whipped a bit there was plenty of sunshine and of course, the colors and flavors of New Orleans. I have developed a strong crush on this city, one that assures me I won't ever stay away too long.
