Just checked the zeppelin cam and spotted that our PIC Ben was taking a break (note the joystick) which presumably means that Kate is driving from the right seat....

Zeppelin Over New Orleans Jazz Fest 2011

Street Art in New Orleans

Out and about with Ganji and Matt and we found a cool street vendor and liked her artwork. Just as we were about to spend our $20 ... Matt asked if the artist could paint a Zeppelin on the painting ... And after a bit of discussion ... she said yes.

So Matt drew an outline of the Zeppelin, the artist added it in, and then we did some final decorations ourselves before taking home our masterpiece!
