Ash Wednesday

Still in the Louisiana portion of our East Coast tour, and it's like Mardi Gras evaporated. Everything's been swept up and what had to get washed away, was, by the crazy thunderstorms this morning.

We did Cafe du Monde first thing this morning and omfg the beignets. Gorgeous. They don't sell tea, and neither misty nor I are physiologically able to drink coffee, sadly, so we got hot water and it was Misty to the rescue with bags of Tazo Awake. :-)

We walked around the French Quarter and dipped into all the little shops (and dragged a very good natured Jason with us!) where we found fabulousness etc.

We went to "Butcher" for lunch and had FANTASTIC pulled pork sandwiches.

Our host had to head to work so Misty and I are on Magazine street, sitting outside (OUTSIDE!! It's 70 degrees out!!) a coffee shop just... _being_. Beautiful. Fabulous. The architecture here has not ceased to amaze us and we've got our vacation home all picked out...
