Tonight we went to the ever-famous Cafe Du Monde for beignets.
Tips for partaking in the art of beignet eating:
1. Do not eat when it is windy (on account of the
copious amounts of powdered sugar on top).
2. Do not eat while wearing black or navy (again because the sugar...).
3. Do not breathe in or out while taking a bite (and again)..
you will have a coughing attack.
For dinner we went to The Court of Two Sisters,
a famous restaurant in the quarter.
We sat out in the beautiful courtyard,
complete with fairy lights and amazing plants.
I ate turtle sherry soup-- which was my grandfather's favorite.
Walking back to our abode we got the privilege of seeing a parade.
Now, this was not just any parade, it started with a jazz band
and followed with a bride and groom and all the guests of their wedding.
They were all marching down the street
dancing and waving white cloth napkins.
It looked like so much fun. My future? I hope so!
