Lithus was in town for French Quarter Fest this year (he wasn't for last year), so I dragged him into the crowds. Now, he isn't any bigger a fan of tourist crowds than I, so we simply did a loop, took pictures, people watched, and stayed in our own little bubble. Makes for a great weekend.
We started Thursday evening, as did FQF, at one of our neighborhood live music/good food/great atmosphere places ~ the Little Gem Saloon ~ and the musical stylings of Sarah Gromko. I highly recommend this evening, regardless of the addition of FQF.
Friday, there were treats at our neighborhood smackerel shop:
Then, Saturday, we braved the crowds and actually made it across Canal, into the Quarter...
Somehow, I managed to get randomly mustard-ed by someone and something, which I admit, required an alcohol wipe once we got home.
All in all, it was a good weekend.
When I was six, my grandparents gave me a suitcase (blue with big, hot pink flowers). I kept it packed and stored in the closet, just in case there was an adventure and I needed to be ready. It took another 34 years, but I'm finally on the adventure. A published author, married to a helicopter pilot, life is fun, crazy, adventurous, challenging ~ but never dull.
