People returned to New Orleans soon after the disaster, but six months later, not even electricity has returned here. As I said in a previous blog, if there is one way you can help these people and any area that relies on tourism for its livelihood, don&#8217;t let disasters scare you away. All of the people here need tourism to resume quickly or they will have no reason to return to their homes.\u00c2\u00a0 Although it may not be the place it was before, a trip here can teach you a lot and certainly give you an opportunity lend a hand repairing the damage that has been done. It is a much more rewarding experience than a simple trip to the beach drinking Mai Tai&#8217;s, and the best part is, this area is still able to provide diversions from the disaster&#8230;the rafting season in nearby Futaleuf\u00c3\u00ba has already begun and is world renowned.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[flickr album=72157607967421158 num=29 size=Square]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melissa recently wrote a more objective point of view about the devastation left behind by the Chait\u00c3\u00a9n volcano.
