October 26, 2018. New Orleans, LO. A Sunny Day.

Right outside our door is a lovely old Spanish fountain. Once upon a day, the parking lot was an interior courtyard. Just at the end of our road is The Ursulan Academy, the only building left standing after a great fire. Once upon a time, the place was run by the French, thus the old area is called The French Quarter. But them the Spanish took over. Then a huge fire decimated the place. The rebuilding was all done by the Spanish, so all the old building of the French Quarter was built in the Spanish style. Thus you see the iron balcony railing and the iron on the windows. The whole scene is charming and very Spanish. The sun is shining today and the temperature is 72. Ken and I went for a walk all around the parking lot. We knew we needed to walk and we knew we could not fight with the sidewalks so we staying in our little compound. I brought us a late breakfast in our room, which we will probable do tomorrow before we leave. Today I will once again pack our cases ready to drive home tomorrow. And we will eat more pizza and wings. We still have left over salad in the fridge so I will try a bit of it. So far my gut is behaving. Once upon a time, we could explore. But not now. Tomorrow, we will be pleased to be home.
