Eila took her first visit last week to LOUISIANA to visit her buddy Lily in Baton Rouge. We were treated like royalty by our wonderful friends the Mays and we all had a fantastic and very restorative visit. We also had a blast to the past visit to New Orleans where Kushang and I met and fell in love way back in the 90's :) We had great food (of course) - lots of catfish (freshwater, of course) and Sandra's red beans and rice (Eila loved it!). We played in the fountains, saw the LSU tiger (a real, live, giant Bengal Tiger), sweated a lot!, went to the Children's museum in NOLA (if you ever go with kids, don't miss this!), and visited my dear professor John Mason and his wife for a good catching up on the past years. And a little bittersweetness- I visited the tree planted on the Tulane campus for my roommate who was killed during graduate school. A very special person was lost to violence- a beautiful tree thrives in her memory.

Lily says "Ya'll come back real soon, you hear!" We had a great time and can't wait until the next time the girls get together.
