New Orleans Update

Last day of the student conference at the AMS meeting, with a lot more people arriving today as the actual conference begins tomorrow. Did a little sight seeing today, went through the Riverview Marketplace and got a few shots of the Mississippi and its' barges. Also grabbed a few shots of the view from my 5th floor hotel room looking down the street's below. I've included those in this post, taken straight from my camera.

Plan on doing more sightseeing later on in the week, although hopefully the weather cooperates with chances of thunderstorms and showers throughout. Today is nice and sunny, with temperatures in the upper 40s in the sun. Most people in coats, but much nicer compared to the temperatures still in place over Iowa where they range from the single digits to teens.
