Greetings Dear Sister,
I haven't talked to you in a few days and I haven't posted here in ages. Time for a new post!
Noah and I went to New Orleans last weekend with a couple friends and had an amazing time. I need to drag you out there - you'd love it. We stayed here:
Its a historic house that has served as a hotel for quite some time. It's known for its elaborate cast iron fence, the possibility of ghosts and the past famous guests it has housed like the Clintons, Elvis & possibly Jean LaFitte (though I think that last one is questionable). The quirky hotel manager told us all about the ghosts, the guests and some snippets about the hotel's history. Now, I love historical buildings a LOT, but that's not what made me like this hotel. It is on Royal which is only a block off Bourbon but much quieter. It has a modern bathroom in every room, which, though tiny, was clean and very nice. The manager was incredibly attentive and kind. And it has on site parking (see the tiny driveway) which is somewhat rare in the French Quarter. This place was our home base for the weekend.
We ate these things:
And we ate some wonderful pieces of cake/pie from this adorable bakery:
We also heard some AMAZING music, walked around looking at the beautiful buildings and popping into interesting shops as well as browsing in the open air market. Basically, a good time was had by all. Its on my list of places to go to again (even though this was my 5th trip).
