I have absolutely no idea what is going on in New Orleans. A long trip on a bus does that, apparently. More updates from the city when we arrive tonight.
We were supposed to get in at about 6 p.m. CST, but re-routing has pushed that back until midnight.
Quick hits from Canadian and American regional media about the summit:
Toronto Star: NAFTA the hot tune for amigos' last dance
Canadian Press: New Orleans prepares for North American summit
Associated Press: Bush seeks to cement legacy of ties with Canada, MexicoGeorgia Straight
New Orleans Times-Picayune: Summit to shine spotlight on N.O.
Also, the 48-hour odyssey that is the bus ride to New Orleans has included:
- a string of identical bus stations that are nearly impossible to discern from each other; there is always one TV, and each station alternates between airing CNN and Fox News
- a rail convoy of military vehicles (Humvee, Armoured Personnel Carrier, etc.) in Jackson, MS
- Get this tag-line for a Marine Corps ad: "We don't make compromises. We make Marines."

Keep on trucking! I expect to see several photos of Seamus with his face against a tree/riot shield/the ground before end of day tomorrow.
