Wednesday: A day of being very tired, but.......

OK.......I didn't get to bed last night/this morning until 3AM....and then the phone rang at 7AM from a great friend to talk about the results of the election for Obama and for Jeremy's senator. Soooo, a bit later we finally managed to pull our aging, evolving bodies out of the bed. Morning rituals being completed, we went down to the lobby to select our breakfasts...and then ate out in the Palm Courtyard.



A bit later we walked over to the Center for Contemporary Art....which is the headquarters for a marvelous, city-wide art exhibit by artisans and artists from around the world. There are exhibits all over the city and each one is free, along with the city providing a shuttle bus to get around from one event location to another. We spent the late morning and most of the afternoon taking in some of these amazing art exhibits..........it was just stunning!!!!!!! This will last until into the winter.......and seems to be attracting many, many people into the city to view these wonderful sights.



Late afternoon, we returned to our hotel for a short time before Jeremy came by and picked us up and took us to his apartment in the downtown area. Later, he dropped us off at the little Louisiana Pizza House where we had eaten some excellent pizza last night.....and this time we selected some wonderful pasta. I had the Veal Piccata with lemon butter and capers which was placed on top of linguine, which was cooked just perfectly....not mushy, but not hard.....an excellent choice, I thought.



Tomorrow morning we are leaving for our stick and brick....and should be there by late afternoon. It took us around 9.5 hours to drive down on Sunday......and should be about the same time returning, unless we find ourselves in the afternoon rush hour traffic somewhere.



This has been a very relaxing, but OMG....an exciting trip to New Orleans!!! We really do love this charming and very unique city..........we have already decided to return in the spring again....as we did last year......and I am already looking forward to it!!!

Another great day........a day that assures me that.......

LIFE IS JUST INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
