Grand isle the awakening5/21/2023 ![]() I awoke to the bouncing of our car as we pulled into the grass driveway of the house in which we’d be staying. ![]() There’s something about sitting in an airplane for five hours that really takes it out of you-all it takes is a comfortable seat and the voice of Stevie Nicks to knock you right out. ![]() In the colors of Louisiana we found vibrancy in its landscape, beauty.Īdmittedly, the pleasant view that sped past my window, combined with the Fleetwood Mac that someone was playing through the Bluetooth was more than enough to lull me to sleep. ![]() There was also, of course, the dark grey of the asphalt in front of us, the reds and whites and silvers of the various cars around us, and the uncomfortably brown waters of the rivers over which we passed. The entire trip to Grand Isle kept us on roads that wove through this green and blue. In almost every direction you looked, you saw a horizon divided haphazardly-green below and blue above a most welcomed sight after having spent too long in the predominately gray Los Angeles. The drive leaving the airport (which in most cities is not much more than freeways and honking vehicles) was bordered on both sides of the road by green vegetation, whose leaves met harmoniously with the sharp blue of an afternoon sky. ![]() Following our arrival in New Orleans, it didn’t take long for me to realize that this trip would be one full of many beautiful things to see. ![]()
