Why Swim Home to New Orleans?

When some say it will someday sink underwater like Atlantis! Thank God for the scuba gear!


When corruption is so widespread that…

…the local Navy intelligence is reputed to treat New Orleans like a 3rd world country (i.e. no sharing of info with local officials).
… voters keep reelecting the same guy that the feds found $90,000 in his refrigerator.
…ACORN is based here.
… corrupt councilmen refuse to name names of other corrupt councilmen because squealing on the mates is dishonorable.
…our Mayor is most famous for wise-cracks, like, my all time favorite – “I’m sick of helicopters overhead – I want to hear some jazz!”

Go to the Times-Picayune for the scandal du jour on the usual elected suspects. Hey! Kind of like the Scandal du Jour in La Nacion back in Costa Rica. Guess we all love what we know best!

Why swim home to New Orleans?

Well, where else would we go? From sea to shining sea there is no place like it! It’s not just the cuisine, music, art and entertainment to suit all tastes. It’s the people, the atmosphere, the joie du vivre and what else?

You shall just have to come on down and see for yourself! But remember, as a Costa Rican fan of jazz fest said of his more cynical friends – “If you come to the Big Easy looking for maggots, you will find them.”
