A room on the 8th Floor.
A dog that won’t go into elevators.
A good friend, Don, who was vacationing for the week in New Orleans, along with his wife, Melissa, and friends, Mike and Marnie.
A Hurricane and an Alligator Po-Boy.
An eye-opening walk down Bourbon Street.
Being scolded in a voo-doo shop for touching.
Another Hurricane in a really big glass.
A great Blues band.
A successful run at a Craps table at Harrah’s, plus free beer.
A midnight walk with a dog that approves neither of Bourbon Street nor of midnight walks nor of the intoxication that would cause his owner to think that a midnight walk down Bourbon Street with a 95 dog was a good idea.
A sound sleep.
An all-morning walk in and about the French Quarter.
Antique store window shopping.
Three beignets with a coffee.
A nice conversation with a couple from Ohio.
A quick stop at a a bayou next to the highway leading out of town.
20 excellent hours in New Orleans.

So you’ve been to the famous Pat O’Briens for Hurricans! Joe and I could not walk after leaving there.
