We got really lucky and were seated at the food preparation bar at NOLA (Emeril's restaurant). We had a very good meal, a nice visit with the folks sitting next to us, and it was fun watching the chefs at work.
As we walked around the Quarter after dinner we came across a bar showing a movie. They were at intermission and showing the old clips from drive-in movies (where they tell you to go to the concession stand for popcorn etc.) on the wall of the building outside. We decided to stop for a drink and to watch "Home Alone" inside. Shortly after the movie came back on John and I made a simultaneous discovery -- this was a GAY bar!!!! John saw the bartender kiss another on the cheek and I watched two male customers tenderly feed each other a bite of food. We quickly finished our drinks and departed! I laughed all the way back to the RV! How do we get ourselves into these situations?!!
Tuesday morning we left NO around 8 AM and headed for San Antonio where we were met by some friends for dinner and breakfast the next day. We parked in the Walmart parking lot for the night. Wed and Thurs. we drove towards Phoenix. It took us all day on Wed. to get the rest of the way across Texas. That's 22 hours to drive across that state. Thursday night we stayed in the Lost Dutchman State Park. Luckily we got in early enough to take an invigorating hike thru the desert before supper.
It was only a 1 hour drive to John's Mom's RV resort where we will stay until after Christmas. It is so nice to be with family on this special day!
