We had a long drive ahead of us to New Orleans and it was pretty much uneventful. We had one 45 minute delay due to an accident but I am not complaining. In fact, I feel very fortunate because.... and I do not want to offend anyone.... but Louisiana drivers are the worst. Really, no lie. I always feel fortunate if I get out of the state without an accident.
We arrived at the Maison Dupuy Hotel around early afternoon. This is an older, small hotel in the French Quarter, and very nice. We usually stay here because it is convenient to everything but far enough away where it is quiet. We decided to skip lunch and eat a big dinner, so we headed out to the Gumbo Shop which has pretty good food and a varied menu. Katherine's observation about NOLO so far is that it is dirty, smelly and humid. HaHa. Yes, I know, but I love this city. We then strolled around Jackson Square and window shopped and I did find a jacket that I loved but really could not wear it anywhere. It looks like a coat a saloon girl would wear during the western days and the more I think about it, I just might get it. I just have to think about where I would wear it so I can justify the purchase. lol
Now for the boring part. We were so tired we decided to go back to the room and watch TV and that is exactly what we did. And of all things, we watched Dancing with the Stars and laughed a lot.
One more thing..so far 5 days of 24 hour togetherness and we have not killed each other yet! Yea!!!
