Greetings from New Orleans!! I have never seen anything like this place before in my life! It is BEAUTIFUL and the weather is 60 degrees. Jenna and I are staying at The Inn on Bourbon, right on Bourbon Street. I'm considering calling it a trip and becoming a Bourbon St. street rat. I'd sit on the street day after day wearing a long purple velvet jacket, a boa around my neck, and holding my masquerade mask in one hand and a cold beer in the other. For income I could learn a few magic tricks, like juggling or flame throwing or maybe I'd become a mime or a celebrity impersonator...I can see it now, I'm sure you can too.
In Auburn last night we went to Sky Bar, it brought me back to the days when I was a southern belle...so young and naive. Some boy approached Jenna and me at the bar, I couldn't understand a word he was saying because his southern accent was so thick, and he obviously had no idea what kind of tough broads he was dealing with. Then it went a little something like this...
Billy Bob: "So whut brawt y'all tew Awbuurn!?"
Thelma and Louise: "Ah...we are going cross country"
Billy Bob: "Oh mah Gawd?!?! Thayat sownds pritty kewl y'all! Whoo dew y'awl run weeith?!?!"
Thelma and Louise: "Excuse me?"
Billy Bob: "Ah sayad...whoo dew y'awl run weeith!?!?"
Thelma and Louise: "We are confused and don't know what you're talking about."
Billy Bob: "Well, y'awll said y'awl were runnin cross cuhntry, so I was wunderin who y'awll run with?!?!"
I kindly smiled and told him we ran with the Kenya Olympic team, he asked me if I was being "safeecious," I'm pretty sure he meant facetious. Needless to say, that was the end of the conversation.
I can hear the music playing outside of our window, Bourbon Street is calling my name. I love you.
Until we meet again,
Liney
