New Orleans in December, Part 2

After a brief - but intense - return to Baltimore for a final exam in anatomy, I returned to New Orleans on December 23rd to spend Christmas with my family and await Lisa's arrival from Monterrey, MX via Chicago. The holiday provided all the relaxation, fun, and great food I needed, plus some very thoughtful gifts that I've been enjoying. What I enjoyed most, though, was the quality time with family and friends. It's not often that so many of us are assembled in the same place with sufficient time for the conversations and meals that we all like to share - this past holiday season was one of those times. Lisa's weeklong visit, half in New Orleans and half in Baltimore, was certainly the major highlight for me. I've included a couple pictures - one is of my cousin Claude and me, the other of my family on Christmas eve. Happy New Year!
