I have problems doing this on the tablet. I can't always get the corrections done and it hides stuff. The tomb was madam laveau. And the other glaring error I saw was cremation. Some of the others are just my language.
Any now after my hair we went on a long walk in a park, looked up a music store so I could get a Doug Kershaw cd. Then we went for a drive up and down Charles st. It is the garden district and is full of old mansions. I swear I took a million pictures. Then back the French quart for our date nite, ha ha, and we went for supper, went in and out of bars and music halls, drank a beer in the streets just cause I could, saw lots of performers, met lots of locals. Then we decided it was time to go home. 830. Oh, big excitement with crazy wild people. Ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!
The things that totally excited me about the city was the architecture, unbelievable, i couldn't absorb enough of it. The wrought iron on the railings and balconies, I am at a loss for words. The balconies would be rounded while the building was square. Amazing. Different types of architecture. A great place for an architectural student vacation. Also I saw a couple of whom I took a picture and I will post it. They were the epitemy of the genteel south. I also was walking down bourbon street and it was regular noise but quiet and a lone sax or clarinet was playing. It was like a movie. The acoustic in those streets make music sound like nothing else. The people were great, warm, loving, inv iting, creative, struggling to make a living like everyone else,just interesting. I fell in love with New Orleans and am taking a part of it with me.
We met a couple that sold their ranch in northern cal and for the same reasons we did. They have two dogs that are used to running free also. They bought an RV and are do ing what we are doing. You would not believe the number
of people that are like us, we aren't
just a crazy minority. Well we are crazy and I guess all of us are still a minority but at least we know we aren't the only ones.
Today we are making our way down the LA gulf coast towards texas. It was 82 and then all of a sudden it was 52. That made me change clothes. The weather has been hot and humid. Since we still have minn blood we acclimated to the humidity fast and actually I am having no more problems with the heat than I do at home. Tho I need to find a blood center so I can donate some. That cools me down.
Well I think it sums it up. I need to find us a place in Lafayette to stay and then hopefully tonight I can post pictures. It's raining here right now.
God. Less all of you, he certainly has and is blessing u s that's for sure.
