Originally from the Midwest, I have lived in New Orleans for decades--my waistline shows it!
It's a fabulous foodie city, with new restaurants constantly opening. Travel is very important to me, and we do a lot of that. My photography "habit" and travel go together nicely, as does a growing passion for birding and its associated travel.
