Karen and Chris are here!

My sister and her other half got into to New Orleans late Friday night, so we got up later Saturday and made it an easy day. First we had coffee in the back yard with Robert, then a little breakfast and a long chat with Nina. About noon we headed for the Quarter.

On the way to Cafe du Monde, we ran into this jazz marching band.


After coffee and beignets we did some shopping in the French Market.

The Coffee Pot


We had a lil' dinner at home and turned in early so we could get up early this morning to go to breakfast at The Coffee Pot. It's been two years since Karen and Chris have been here, but the waitress that always waits on us came right over to say hello. (This same woman has been waiting on them at the Coffee Pot for over a decade.) We had a huge breakfast; callas for Karen, pancakes and strawberries for Chris and a Sis' Soul Omelette for me with lots of good coffee and chicory. Fabulous!

Then we walked back to the house to take a break and cool off. (It's going to hit 90 today!) In a few minutes we're going to leave to go to the Fairgrounds for Jazz Fest.

Tomorrow will be another new journal entry with lots of pics from the Jazz Fest.
