Had a chance recently to travel with some colleagues for the annual National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR) annual conference on behalf of Middlesex Community College. Our college's Public Affairs and Marketing departments were up for a number of awards for our marketing, television, and social media offerings. We cleaned up last year at the awards, held in the Windy City, Chicago. This year, we travelled south to the Big Easy for some terrific memories.
And of course, one of the cardinal rules of travelling: run the roads.
Which is what we did every morning before the conference started. And as a result, we logged 27 miles on the back roads, seeing parts of N'Awlins that we wouldn't have seen otherwise.
So bear with me for the next few blog posts, they're going to be a travelogue of the trip.
Made friends with our bellhops, who helped us chart every day's run (you'll meet them in a later post)
The beads in New Orleans are legendary, and can be found, well, everywhere
Running along the Mississippi
Running beneath I-10, where beautiful murals adorn the columns
The lonely life of the Louisiana Runner
Yeah, a pair of Hippie Gypsies
Catching their breath
Jesters are big in the French Quarter
As proof of that, check out these clowns!
