They always paint a bleak picture. A friend told me that’s why they call them “Lonely Planet”!

You *are* brave to do what you’re doing, but you will be fine, and safe. Just like you said: you’ve lived in Chicago and you survived!

Please do be aware of the safety measures you should take. I can remember being afraid in New Orleans when I was in college at Tulane,summer school. When Katie started SMU, Susie and I stopped by my Aunt’s who lived there(NO) and her sons took Susie out for a “night on the town”. Their father, Bill, told them to have fun but to be out of the Quarter by 11pm and 10 was better. There are places everywhere to be extra careful!! I send you my love and my prayers.XO Gran
