Hey Kiddo, you're kicking my tummy right now. Actually, they're probably punches. You do an awful lot of that, you know. Maybe you'll be a great boxer like Mohammed Ali.
Tomorrow we go to New Orleans! The food you'll be gettin' is gonna be fantastic, I promise you. I have mapped out an entire day-by-day itinerary for your Daddy and I, all based on food we can't get here in Playa. On our list we have a sushi restaurant, an Indian restaurant (mmmm, Mommy loves butter chicken), a Middle Eastern place, Greek, po'boys, gumbo, crawfish and last but most certainly not least, Emeril Lagasse's NOLA. We are so, so, so excited. At first, we were going to see your Auntie Carrie and Karla in Orlando, because they are there right now to visit Disneyworld (somewhere we will take you no doubt) and we haven't seen them in a long, long time. But Mommy can't go on any rides because you're in my tummy, so we really wouldn't have been able to spend much time with them. But you and I will see Auntie Carrie soon after you're born.
Some other things we would like to do, is go to see one of the famous cemeteries in New Orleans. Yes, by the time you read this, you'll know Mommy has a bit of an interest in the darker side of things - the more mystery, the better! We'd also like to go on a boat in the Mississippi, and walk down Bourbon st. and wander around the French Quarter. We are, most importantly, going to go see the 9th ward, as well. That's the area of town that was worst affected by Hurricane Katrina and, not surprisingly, a poorer part of town with a lot of minorities. The story there is very sad because the worst of the damage was done after the storm passed. These people were not helped by their own government because they were poor and they were mostly minorities. Something that Mommy wants very badly to teach you is that all human life is sacred no matter what side of the tracks you come from or what color your skin is or even if you've been convicted of an heinous crime. This is why we're going to see the 9th ward. You gotta keep reminding yourself when you live in a place like Playa Del Carmen in a beautiful new condo with a swimming pool out front, that the world is still hurting out there and that not everything is all peaches and cream.
Mmmm... peaches and cream. Dammit kid, you make Mommy hungry.
