First day at the fairgrounds under sunny skies.
So great to have a sunny day.
The blues tent is rocking with Roddie Romero and the Hub City All-Stars.
Another great day at Jazzfest.
Our dinner reservations are at another fabulous restaurant, Brigtsen’s.
The BEST pecan pie…wow.
Grateful today for
sunshine at jazzfest,
facebook – that made a reunion with a high school friend possible at the gospel tent,
and for the incredible food in N’awlins.
Last night after dinner we went to Frenchman Street…
Wow.
A brass band playing outside on the corner where we get out of the cab.
Streets are filled with people and great live music is in every bar…
Blown away by Shamarr Allen! Loved seeing him and the Underdawgs.
After breakfast in the hotel we’re off for a day of music at the fairgrounds…
The lowest temperatures in New Orleans today in 140 years…Brrr!
After a rest at the hotel, delighted to be returning to a favorite restaurant – Dante’s Kitchen. Delicious as always – the local farm vegetable plate was the star.
Grateful today for
all the great music we’re hearing,
the friendly conversations with strangers,
and for a grand time in NOLA.
Vero in for maintenance this morning…
2 hours later, Vero is shiny, and beautiful!
My afternoon…
lunch with mate – what a delight!
prepping for a case study interview…
Interview done!
And ready for a night at the Thomson Library Lounge,
with extended family…
Grateful today for
Uncle Stu – thank you for being a part of my studies,
and Maylee Todd
Thank you for connecting us with your extended family… LOVED the open sharing…
and for extended family…you never know where new family members will come from…
Looking forward to Friday!
Great Hall…8:30!! Yes!!!
Our last day here begins with coffee + croissants at 1664.
An afternoon on the beach, a lovely lunch and a foam party add up to a relaxed and fun day on the beach.
Friends all gathering this evening for sunset cocktails on the roof.
Delightfully surprised to discover that sunset cocktails come with a saxophone player,
and an outdoor photo shoot of beautiful ladies modelling sexy beachwear.
Grateful today for
the diverse ways that people have fun,
a fun time at our rooftop party,
and for all our friends – you made this vacation so wonderful.
