Once of the perks of Jon's job is that he gets air miles for all the business trips that he takes. we decided to cash these in and took an almost free trip to New Orleans down in Louisiana.

If we thought that Boise was hot, it doesn't even come close to the heat in New Orleans. The big difference is the humidity. In Boise it can be 95 degrees but only 20% humidity. In New Orleans it's also 95 degrees, but 90% humidity, and that's hot. Despite the heat we had a great time.

Near the fountains it was a little cooler.
