Ruthie - Down in New Orleans...

No matter where they live,
always ask a friend to visit you
"down here."

How's Houma?
I like New Orleans,
not gonna lie.
You gotta come down 
and visit at least once.

Oh, you live in Miami?
That's nice.
You should come down here
sometime.

Venezuela? Sounds cool.
You gotta come to New Orleans.
We have good food 
down here.

We don't realize,
that we aren't that far south. 
Ruthie, age 17
