Kiss of Fire Website & Info
New Orleans is probably the closest city to Buenos Aires, architecturally and culturally speaking. It was founded in the early 1700's by the French. It's the home of amazing Creole and French colonial architecture, the French Quarter, Jackson Square, the Cabildo, St. Louis Cathedral, street cars on St. Charles Street, casinos, riverboats, beignets and cafe au lait with chickory at the Cafe du Monde, and their famous and unbelievable Cajun French cuisine. Don't forget that I was born in Lafayette, and lived as a little kid in 'Nawlins.

I did my undergrad in New Orleans, and the city definitely kept half my soul when I left...thanks for the update on how the dance is doing in the home of my--quite literal--alma mater.
oh my, if jax wasn't going to be in scotland i'd suggest we go out to new orleans together for this. i've always wanted to spend some time there. and i even have a good friend who lives there that i could stay with. sigh....what dreams may come....
