Jazz Brunch at Court of Two Sisters
Saturday our final day we got on bus at 8:45 to head to the Court of Two Sisters, and a jazz brunch..This was unbelievable, the shrimp, crawfish, omelets (seafood) etc plus all the other food you would expect or not expect on a buffet. and all of this with the jazz combo next to us.
Back to Hotel...
Back to hotel at 11am and a cab was waiting to take us to air[port. Mare and I flew same flight to Atlanta and I waited with her for about an hour for her flight to NJ to leave and then I had 3 hrs more for my flight to Sarasota.
All in all a maybe once in a life time experience. Since I had never been to New Orleans, and also wanted to help out there, it was a great fulfillment of those wishes. Everywhere we went people were so grateful for the work we did. So the 34 people who were in the group amy have had sore muscles but I think all felt good. Info on the group, all sizes and ages, two gal (widowed) teachers from NY had done this same thing last year, another couple had done 40 rips like this. Ages from 50 to maybe 79-80. but everyone did work. The organizational part of it was very very good.. great restaurants, transportation, talks all good. Even though Mare and I balked at first at “having to be on the bus” at 7:30 we got over it.
There are pictures to follow. I have not gotten the ones Mare took, my camera was needing recharging so I didn’t take pics a couple of days.
