Some say there is a curse on this region due to the slave sales and worse in the dark of the nearby swamps.<br /><br />CBame13 :<br />I just drove the Creole Nature Trail yesterday to bring rare blood to a rural hospital. It is truly a breathtakingly beautiful trip. I think you would have enjoyed the scenery.<br /><br />Josh :<br />Wasn't that video great? I liked the catchy tune it had, though the subject matter was sad.<br /><br />Johanna :<br />In New Orleans I know they still drink hurricanes ... and concoctions called zombies. Brrrr.
