What A Day Part II

Next we drove through the Lower Ninth Ward----where the worst damage occurred during Katrina six years ago. Most of the damage has been cleared---a few boarded up houses and stores had the X on them and were still standing. We drove through the areas where Habitat, Brad Pitt, Oprah, and others have contributed to building new homes.





The new houses are brightly colored, modern designs. They are energy efficient---lots of solar panels. Built up off the ground, many parked their cars underneath.
