Inside the dome

This was the row where we seated inside the Lousiana Superdome, on the first two front seats. ‘They’d better win’! And the Saints did. And they say “Who dat say that Saints can’t win, who dat?” They just made their own franchise win record. Glad because it makes hubby happy and excited, at least worth the trip; well, even if they lost, we still had a great time there. It was so noisy when the game was over, even down on the streets, everyone of them fans is so happy and jubilant. Who would not be if they’e crazy about it..

Walking to the dome

Last year we took a taxi, but this year we learned a lesson. We just walked to Louisiana Superdome which was just some blocks away from the hotel we stayed at for the weekend. We saved not just money for the taxi, or from possible trouble from finding our parking space if we drove down. Walking down several streets gave our feet the exercise due them, and of course, some quality time together. It was memorable. Even saved us a lot of time of getting to our destination faster than being trapped in several minutes of taffic.

Man’s best friend

He keeps mentioning about going to New Orleans. Honestly I want somewhere fresh, a new and different place. But with all the entertainment in New Orleans, not that we involve in all of them, especially the Bourbon Street ‘shows’, I will be fine. On our last trip I had not seen this man with his li’l toy pup with his immobile stunt, it is very funny and ‘entertaining’. What I like most about this is the fact that he is inseparable with his companion, of course, a man’s best friend, a dog. They make a very good picture.

Aboard steamer Natchez

I knew he was also bored to death, but just for the sake of the experience and of being aboard the famous ‘steamer Natchez’ for a tour along the river, I still had fun for being there. The best part were observing other people aboard and of course seeing New Orleans from a different benchmark, on the river. Isn’t it beautiful? For me seeing the remnants of the ‘older era’ in New Orleans was more beautiful, and priceless.

Umbrella of colors

It was just a quick passing glance but I recognized it right away! It was the Philippine ‘colors’. We were strolling through the Riverwalk shopping center in New Orleans two months ago and those lovely national flags in a form of an umbrella were hanging up high in the store’s display. I smiled in national pride seeing my country’s flag there.

How far fans will go?

This is our main reason of going to New Orleans: to watch the Sunday football game in the Superdome between the New Orleans Saints and the Raiders. It was funny to see different displays of fans’ craziness over their teams. This one is very funny. Who says it’s only for kids?

Our last trip

At the river walk towards our way to the IMAX theater in New Orleans. Behind is the beautiful fountain, soaring up high (in what my G10 camera can vividly capture,) only to fall back down its lowest point with a heavy drop, like the dramas in life. But life is an endless frontier, sure it is beautiful and good things still happen, even much sweeter after the fall.

Guide to New Orleans

Namashtè! We are heading to New Orleans in few days. We are glad that the hurricanes did not do considerable damage to the crescent city, so our schedule does not change. We had been to New Orleans a few times but we are not yet so familiar with the whole city so of course we rely on maps and guides. I found this cute widget online I would like to share. A guide to New Orleans, interactive city map and photos, with review links for sights and attractions, restaurants, bars and more…

Street entertainment

Weekend Snapshot 26: This man in New Orleans

You can see this man about any street in New Orleans, with his li’l pup, posing for people to be entertained with his curvy long strides. The white bucket is for his earnings on the street. Good business; you just don’t move any muscle; at the end of the day, his is the last laugh

Construction theft protection

Safe and Secured. I’m up high here, you can not steal me. Who would dare?
There are many people who steal things, and don’t forgive even construction equipments, especially portable ones. So construction team end up securing and hanging the tools with the crane. They would have to struggle if they really want to steal the equipments. Worth the theft effort? This was taken during our trip to New Orleans during our swamp tour.

Frontier trivia of the day:

One of LoJack’s Guide to Theft Protection is to park equipment close together and in a circle if feasible, with smaller pieces in the center; chain small equipment to larger equipment
