After two delayed flights, we arrived in NOLA around 11pm. Ater settling into our hotel room we decided to try a taste of the local culture by getting a late dinner at one of the local restaurants famous for LA home cooking. So we went across the street to Applebee's.
Right now it's around 12:30 here, and so far today we had cereal and fruit salad for breakfast at the hotel's breakfast bar, then a Smoothie King smoothie after our morning workout. I feel really good that we're not holding back, and we're trying all these new and different things. Just imagine- if we were still in Baltimore right now I probably would have had Kashi GoLean cereal for breakfast, instead of Raisin Bran, we would have gone to Chili's instead of Applebees, and I would have had an Odwalla Super Protein bar after my workout instead of a Smoothie King.
I hope my stomach can handle all of this unusual cuisine.
OK enough joking around. As soon as TB gets out of the shower we're heading out for a truly native meal at a recommended restaurant downtown, then tonight, after The Band's gig I think we're headed out for a late night in the French Quarters.
The only bummer is that back home in Baltimore, there's a no smoking in bars law that was recently passed. They don't have that here. So I will probably be showering at 4am to get the smoke out of my hair.
So one more note before I sign off- I just realized that I am celebrating my 30th birthday by spending the weekend in NOLA with 7 boys. Very nice. I will be pointing that out for a long time to anyone who will listen....
Au revoir!

There's the problem with your marriage. You're in New Orleans. Your husband is in the shower. And your on the computer blogging.
