hi reflection. Yeah the best way to get to Our Lady of Holy Cross is to take what we call the Paris Road ferry and you get off on the other side the river in Gretna. (Someone just told me that . lol) You pretty much go straight for about 15-20 minutes and your there. I just live about 3 minutes from the ferry on this side. But its the other side with my truck that wont make it.

You should come visit. The city itself is rich with history. The Madame La Laurie house is being sold by its owner Nicholas Cage and is known to be one of the most haunted houses in the Quarter. If you google her, you'll see why. Just don't go walking off the beaten path or where no one is at. Your just asking for trouble. And be careful if you take one of those Isabella bus/van tours. I've been known to throw my bike at them down here. lol. Long story and a few years back. I probably have it in another thread of mine. lol.

The people down this way don't want handouts from the government. Just want things to be done right. We'll take care of our own property. But alot of the older crowd need the help of the government and are to proud to ask. Even to proud to ask the volunteer groups. But they should cause those volunteers are great. They can whip a house into shape in just one month. I've seen it done. And it always seems something is donated like a fridge, etc.

I hope to see you down here one day. Let me know. I'll give you a personal tour of the bayou and of the French Quarter.
