Strolling Thru the Quarter

Aaaah! My soul feels so much better when I’m in NOLA. I bet on 7 races and won 5. Too bad it didn’t total to much. I was only betting $2 to show. The weather was beautiful and i had fun people watching.

Got a cab back to the quarter. Stopped at Pierre Maspero’s for an Irish coffee to wake and warm me up. Then I picked up some chocolate from Laura’s. Just in case I have a sweets craving at night.

It’s too early for dinner, so I stopped at Bar Vin for a port and to relax with my Agatha Christie book. People are dying left and right! The bar is great. It’s dark and cozy with comfy leather arm chairs. I remember when it was all chrome and neon. LOL. I stayed at the adjoining hotel ages ago. Now it’s part of a boutique chain and costs at least $300 a night for a room smaller than my guest bedroom. Praise Jesus for VRBO.Read more
