Later we decided to do the tourist thing. On our way to the city proper we passed by where the Army Corps of Engineers were busy with the levee reconstruction. I was wondering what they were doing standing so close to the levee wall. I thought of the story of the little Dutch boy plugging his finger into a hole in a dike to keep the water from flooding Holland. I couldn't help imagining thousands of engineers running around the Mississippi levees plugging their fingers into holes during the hurricane. Hey, maybe next time.....
Here's another view from over the river.
Tomorrow we start getting our hands dirty.
