[Leica] Getting back into New Orleans

[zoeica1 at yahoo.com (Chris Williams)]

We arrived Tuesday night at the New Orleans Parish checkpoint. NOPD would 
not let us back in though the National Guard would. So we stayed the night 
and attempted to get in Wednesday morning. National Guard again let us 
through but not the NOPD. We went to Kinko's to print up business 
letterheads which the NOPD told us would work to get back in. By the way, 
the NOPD continually played "Bad Boys" in the cars all through Tuesday 
night. National Guard calls them the NO-PD. 
 
Anyway, we made it through another National Guard checkpoint without any 
problems and then drove to our house. It had been 4 weeks since we've seen 
it.
 
Here are some photos I took of the fire on our block just 1 house away from 
us. We were extremely lucky. Only some smoke and water damage.

All Leica books now sitting pretty in an AC storage in FL.
 
Big thanks to the National Guard, New Orleans would have been lost without 
them.
