So, I'm in New Orleans right now trying to digest the gigantic burger I inhaled a few hours ago. My friend Christi and I are here for the long weekend with really no agenda in mind other than having a good time.
We're staying in a fabulous apartment at the edge of the Warehouse District, close to the western edge of the French Quarter. Lovely place...high ceilings, old wood floors, balcony, fireplaces...just gorgeous.
We actually left home yesterday and drove through to the eastern edge of Texas. After an overnight stay, we hit the road early, but not after checking our favorite website for estate sales. We found a fantastic one locally and made a quick stop. We both made out like bandits. I got a few really awesome vintage postcards.
After that, we headed east and stopped at the Louisiana Visitors Center. Got a recommendation for a place to stop to eat..stopped to eat...and then....
Sat in traffic for the entire rest of the day. There was a hellish series of special events in Baton Rouge that made the traffic unbearable. I cannot describe how bad it was.
Finally rolled into The Big Easy around 5pm, eventually got into our rental, got our stuff moved in (it's a THIRD floor without an elevator AGAIN), and headed out to pick up supplies/get food.
Did Wal-Mart, ate at The Charcoal, and walked around Magazine ST. Gotta go back when the shops are open man...lol. No photos today but will have the camera tomorrow, promise.
Now if my tummy would chill out, I could sleep.
