Saturday, November 20th (Late morning)
It was back to the French Quarter as we wanted to visit the Katrina & beyond exhibition at the Cabildo on Jackson Square. Here’s a promotional video on the exhibit:
We spent over an hour wandering the displays. The first thing that greets you is Muddy Waters piano, which is displayed just as it was found after Katrina.
There are displays on the days before Katrina hit, eyewitness accounts of what occurred during the storm, stories of survival in the weeks after the storm, histories about past storms, scientific displays on levies and floods, ending with video comments from survivors.
Very powerful and moving. I know that I’m repeating myself, but it’s impossible to comprehend what occurred here five years ago.
