Red Dress Run

Posted by Picasa

As it turns out, life in New Orleans is a little bit different. From strange house colors (hopefully i'll have good film pictures from my neighborhood walk later in the year) to strange culture-mixing to strange people to strange events, this place is full of fun people and places. Any excuse to party is good enough.

Some of my teammates wonder what's going on.

This mentality is evidenced in these few photos from my relief team's tour of New Orleans. We didnt even know that anything was going on in the town, but we drove right through the red dress run. That's right. The red dress run, where everyone was dressed in red, most of them in red dresses (men and women alike).
We talked to a few people and asked them what was going on. They're response (my paraphrase)?
"Running around in red dresses, drinking beer, partying in the absurd heat of August, basically any excuse to party."

What a fun place!
