Work Travel

Astor Crowne - Canal and Bourbon

The company I work for - Spring is our busy season. Our Clients all have their meetings, conferences and events in the spring. I just returned from New Orleans. It started Monday and ended Thursday - just in time for St. Patrick's day evening festivities.

Bourbon Street is absolutely insane during a holiday. I mean INSANE. They call Vegas the Sin City - They have nothing on New Orleans.

BUT - New Orleans has the best food. THE BEST. Everything is fresh and tasty and oh so delicious. Oysters, crayfish and shrimp. Caught the day it's prepared. We ate at Acme Oyster and Mr. B's. Two of the best restaurants and they've been around for years.

I took a day off and planted the early veggies in the garden. Boy am I out of shape. I spent 3 1/2 hours tilling and planting seeds and can barely lift my arms. I know I should of only done an hour at a time but the weather was cool and it just felt good to get out again. Spinach, Lettuce and Peas. I have Peas called Telephone Pole peas. Now - do you think the vines are as long as telephone poles or the pea pods are perfectly straight like a pole? We'll find out.

Until the next time.
