As you can probably guess, I've been forced into armchair traveling these days. No worries. Soon I'll be strong enough to put one foot in front of the other. Nonetheless, my friend Tim found himself in New Orleans this week and had this to report:
You could come from the airport, stay and play around the French Quarter, ride along St. Charles Street and never know anything ever happened to this town, then you drive for miles and miles and miles and this is all you see [...] no people -- nothing -- 7 months later?
His photos are amazing even though taken from a low resolution handheld TREO phone.
Like Tim, I'm amazed that after 7 months and millions of dollars the scene still looks hopeless.

While I haven't made it to Africa quite yet on my WorldRider Journey, it appears my brother Jonathan beat me to it. A couple weeks ago he wandered around Algeria, Mali, Chad and who knows where else. His mission? Spending some quality time with US Special Forces as they trained anti-terrorist militia groups from various African Nations for ABC News.
Jon's crew peforming sound and lighting check in the middle of the Sahara Desert.
His photos from the journey are posted here. Even better, tune in tonight to ABC News or NightLine and watch his report on this unusual plight of our military in its never-ending efforts to stomp out terrorism worldwide. Check out his photos and tune into ABC tonight!

UPDATE: Jonathan has posted a blog entry at ABC News. Check it out here.
