Exploring Louisiana

Jennifer Moses, a New York Times journalist, recently took a trip to Plaquemines Parish, a "plain old sloshed" city that is southeast of New Orleans. In many ways, Plaquemines Parish is similar to other "rural Louisiana parishes: dotted with churches, convenience stores, trailer homes surrounded by tender green fields," and other wonders. Moses describes the beautiful nature experience one gets from visiting, as well as the informative historical landmarks located in Plaquemines Parish. But not everything is perfect in Plaquemines Parish, as it is currently under threat from the possibly of flooding waters around it. In fact, according to Moses, Plaquemines Paris is six feet under sea level, compared to New Orleans, which is only two feet below sea level. Despite this, the area remains a beautiful and interesting landscape that can be enjoyed by all.
