Sounds exciting”’ Well, we are not the exciting types. We were a large group of 11 ladies and had a real good time trotting down to the French Quarter to look around. We hitched a ride on the shuttle from the Hyatt and went first to the French Market. The ladies were in search of something special. Especially jewelry!!! Of course, shopping has never been my cup of tea, so I was busy trying to take pictures. I took some then caught up with them. We had left two ladies behind, so we had to take a side trip to wait for them. So we sat at the French Market Cafe to wait for them and have a drink. It was so hot, the thought of a mixed drinks or beer made me sick. I ordered water. We waited for the two to get there, then we started off. I designated one friend that was walking in the back to kind of help me not get run over, hurt or left behind. Because I was determined to take some pictures. I had a couple of scares, but I managed to keep up. I had my tennis shoes on, so I could keep up well. I did almost get hit by a door and run over by a car, but that was to be expected. We ate at Michael Anderson’s on Bourbon. The food was excellent. I was able to try tilapia and really enjoyed it. After eating we walked down Canal toward Harrah’s. Some wanted to go in, but it was getting late so we decided to wait instead for the shuttle. He came by once and there were only four seats, then had to wait for the next one.
While walking down Canal, I saw a “celebrity” ( I say this in snide way). He is on the early show on Sunday morning which I can tell now that I am the only one that watches except for Mitzi. No one else knew who I was talking about. She saw him though and he was very rude at the restaurant they were at. Sounds right to me. If ever you wake up early and watch it, look for the curly redheaded smart alec guy. That’s him.
We had a great night, even though we were worried about getting back. 😀
