i’m sick and hungover. not a good combination. andre wakes up at 9am with the alarm clock that at some point we had set when coming in drunk this morning. exactly why we decided to do this at this moment had suddenly seemed to me the dumbest idea.
tommaso aka pacman has packed our hotel cart, with a few instructions from the german. tommaso takes one hint and leaves the other to chance. tommaso hurrys into the elevator with the hotel cart and suddenly, boom! no not the elevator it was tommaso’s precious mac laptop. uh-oh. tommaso picks it up and is optomistic that it is ok. we get to the van and he immediately opens it up. it won’t start. wait, it will start but there is no screen. for the next few hours he tries to figure it out and finally it comes on. hurrah! except one minor issue the screen is now as if it is one of those old tube tvs that starts to go bad. poor tommaso, we will have to find an apple store in new orleans.
so we headed to magnolia for some brunch to plan our days out. after brunch we all agree that magnolia receives the trEas approval stamp!! food = 10; atmosphere = 10; price = 10;
and now at this moment we are driving aimlessly thru downtown houston for starbucks to see a bit of houston on our drive to new orleans. hey valarie isn’t this your hometown? where are all the people? hmmm…no starbucks to be found facing the streets and not much seemed to be going on. perhaps its the holidays? oh well, back to the road….new orleans new orleans new orleans! some great pics to come!
ciao ciao,
tracy
