Pink and Green Thursdays: Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?

Next Thursday I am (finally!) making my way back to one of my favorite cities in the world.  It's a place I hold dear to my heart and miss terribly after 4.5 wonderful years calling it home.  It's a place that's largely misunderstood despite its obvious charm.  It's also a place going through a particularly tough time now.

I'm heading to New Orleans!

So today I offer a Pink and green Thursday post with a NOLA theme.

I miss my morning runs through the oaks in Audubon Park

I miss snowballs

I miss beignets and cafe au lait

I miss the streetcars... even though half the time they smelled funny and were never, ever, on schedule

I miss oysters and crawfish

I miss champagne cocktail nights with the girls

I miss carefree afternoons spent at Pat O's

I miss second lines blocking traffic and waking me up from afternoon naps

There are so many more things I miss; however, they're proving impossible to find pink and green photos for (i.e. po boys and live music).  Don't be surprised if you see some additional NOLA-related posts as I count down to my touchdown in the Big Easy!
