usa: day fifteen - to new orleans

, , No Comments
woke up early
went downstairs to check out and saw the taxi there
turns out taxis arrive when they want to
had a quiet drive to the airport and tipped him appropriately!
had dunkins donuts' munchkins for breakfast before boarding the plane at san antonio
had a stopover in houston after 30min of flight, but we didn't have to get off so that was fine
then it was another hour of flight before we got to new orleans

first impression is that it's not what i thought it would be
i was expecting a lively cobblestoned main street
but it's pretty modern
we walked around and ate some gumbo and huck's puppies at a local restaurant
also had afternoon tea at IHOP
walked a bit along the mississippi river (also not what i thought it wold be...much wider and less muddy)
it was super windy and super chilly
so after the other two drew out cash we went back to the hotel

[INTERMISSION: just ran out for supper in flipflops to IHOP again in 5 degree weather. YAY]

so yeah now we're back to doing what we were doing before
and that is watching all the real housewives there is to watch
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL




waiting for ccherry to arrive.
so excited!
