I woke up feeling really dodgy – that Hurricane couldn’t have been good for me but Genevra recommended it. I am so very sad to be leaving NO. I really love this place and wish I was here for a week or 2 – there are so many things I missed out on but I loved just wandering the streets. The people are so friendly, the climate is perfect and I love mixing food and good music. I stayed in Marigny – a hip neighborhood that has a bohemian mix of residents, cafes dotted around and great jazz only a short walk away. I had a tear in my eye saying goodbye to the owners of the B&B – they were so helpful but not intrusive in any way. For all of you who love festivals such as Port Fairy, you would LOVE New Orleans.
I’m flying back to New York and have the thermals and gloves ready as it was 0c when I looked last – I have my last weekend in NY before onto the UK! Flight only took 4 hours. Spent a couple of hours catching up on washing before heading into Manhattan to meet Kitty. This time she took me to a fabulous Mexican restaurant where we both had a mojito and plenty of great Mexican food. The weather really is so cold!
Funny site: The motto painted on the side of a New Orleans rubbish truck said “”our business stinks but we’re picking up”. This really tickled my fancy!!
