Yesterday
Yesterday was our first day here in New Orleans. When we got in on Friday we pretty much just went to bed. We got up in the morning and then walked down to a little coffee shop on the corner for some breakfast. Breakfast was good and the cafe really reminded Peter and I of the bars in Italy. I wanted to grab a couple caches since I was in town and Rayna is into geocaching too
so we left the girls with Peter and Scott and went out to find some. We went to this one really odd cache that you where you have to enter an office building connected to a hotel and tell the person at the front desk you are caching. They in turn call someone up on their walkie-talkie and after a few minutes someone arrives to help you out. We were greeted by a nice man who we assumed was the head maintenance worker for the building. He took us up the main elevator to floor 31 and then we got out and went into a maintenance elevator where we went up a couple more flights. From there we went to a little room with some pipes and things in it and there in the corner was a big army chest with a geocaching sticker on it. After we traded out some TBs and geocoins the man asked if we would like to see the view. He took us out onto the roof of this 30+ story building and we went to the edge of every side and he told us all about the city. He told us about the boats that come in and where the rivers lead, he told us about all the other buildings around and how high they were. The most interesting stuff he told us was about the hurricanes and he showed us where the water came from and how far it flooded up the streets. From on top of that building you could see all of
New Orleans, it was really amazing. I have never done a cache like that but I am so happy I did this one while we were here. I got to see a view of New Orleans that most tourist would only dream about. That cache was 499 for me so right after we left there I got my 500th find.
