Happy in New Orleans

I found this one on my computer while going through all the photos taken on the road trip. So many great memories. I like this picture because I look happy here, and I remember I felt happy too. It was the very last night of the trip. A two week adventure coming to an end a late evening in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Feeling both excited and at home at the same time. I was collecting Mardi Gras necklaces, a bigger smile for every new one that came my way, and just experienced that pure simple joy you get from being with loved ones.
