Monroe

I spent the week just past in Monroe, Louisiana, birthplace of Delta Airlines, teaching a class for my current client. Flying in, I was for some reason picturing an even smaller place than Monroe turn out to be.  Not that it's huge by any means, but it is the state's sixth largest city, after all.  Together with neighboring West Monroe, it's about twice the size of the town where I grew up in Canada.

Not a bad little berg, though I admit I didn't do much sightseeing.  I took this picture looking along the Ouachita River (say: WAH-chi-taw) from the Louisville Avenue bridge.
