Cemetery escape in New Orleans

I am one of the lucky few who got out again, after being shut up in a cemetery for the night. But let me start at the beginning. I’m in New Orleans for a quick trip with a friend. The trip was my idea. He loves the city and I’ve never seen it, so I […]

Kakku and the Heho airport

It was a great decision by Margaret to have someone handle the driving for us today.

From simplicity to extravagance

Our final day of the three day trek.
