Pretty countryside on the way to N.O. The weather has turned. Most of the day was in the high 40s to low 50s.
I got into N.O. without much fanfare. Damn phone signal has been crappy (so much for buying a new iPhone in Houston!), so had a bit of fun navigating downtown and had to go around the block an extra time till I found the entrance to the Marriott. Thank god for valet parking…at $55 per night…ouch!
Got into the room and unloaded, took a quick nap, showered and caught a taxi for a pretty short ride to the restaurant I was meeting Scott & Andrea MacLeod and Andrea’s sister Susan.
The staff there was wonderful…the hostess, Doc had a great sense of humor when I told her that was my nickname and my guest showing up I always called Doc. Go figure.
It wasn’t long before they all came in. So good to see them. We had a good dinner at Palm & Pine, before moving on to Arnauds. I picked this spot because Anita and my good friends Nils & Elaine said I had to stop by. Nils said his great Uncle opened the place and they’d had many family members work there to boot.
It was a good time though our waiter was a surly shit…he did okay but his presentation left a bit to be desired.
We decided I should Join them in the morning for brunch before I left.
