And, I'm not talking about the band from the 60's. Today started out overcast, but that quickly turned to clear, sunny skies and it should stay that way through the weekend. I spent about an hour this morning cleaning sand, tar and general crud from the car. We then did the touristy thing and toured St. Charles Ave. from a streetcar and then walked around the French Quarter.

We got a muffuletta from Central Grocery for lunch, and ate in Jackson Square. Yummy! (I also got a jar of olive mix there to bring home.)

We then went to Cafe du Monde where we got beignets for dessert. We met two women from Dallas, TX while we were both waiting for service and had a nice talk with them. The "dining room" is an outdoor, covered patio and people were feeding the pigeons, who have become very comfortable with people.

After watching some street performers, we eventually made it back to the streetcar and took a tour back up St. Charles. We then headed back to the hotel for a reception hosted by the local car club. There was lots of homemade, local cuisine that was all very good. A very good day that made up for yesterday.
