The South is really changing my conception of what constitutes a city, and this coming from a girl who vowed to go below the Mason-Dixon Line (vacations in FL excluded). I never thought I was a city girl, but it turns out I just need the right city. London would be great if it weren't for all the rain (and the state of the dollar). Austin was awesome, but I don't think my hair could handle the constant heat and humidity. New Orleans - all I can say is I can't wait to go back. I was lucky enough to have a friend of a friend to stay with, who also happens to be an artist, so I got a whirlwind car-tour of the city focusing on the architecture. I had no idea there was such a large Irish population! (pictures here)
Monday wasn't the greatest day to be in town because the museums are closed, but I breakfasted on beignets and cafe au lait at Cafe du Monde before strolling around the French Quarter. I shopped til I dropped and then had the obligatory tourist moment sitting on a balcony above Bourbon St. and sipping a hurricane.

oh so jealous!! Cafe du Monde...the memories. That is one of my very favorite cities and I, too, can't wait to get back there!! Mmmmm, Hurricanes!
Maybe we can whip up a pitcher of hurricanes this summer when I invite myself to hang out with all of my sister's friends!
