Sunday was sunny and warmer than Sat. but still on the cool side. A friend's son and his girlfriend came by about noon to get his packages from home. We then made a beeline to the Jagerhaus. They have really good German food. We then wandered around the French Quarter for a couple of hours until the Christmas Concert at the St. Louis Cathedral. The choirs and orchestra perfomed a J.S. Bach contata, then a collection of songs accompanied by a harp. The last number was a moving number performed on the pipe organ. Oh yeah, pretty much the whole concert was in German, go figure.
When we left the church, we joined 8000 people in Jackson Square with candles and sang Christmas carols. I loved every minute and John was very good to go along with me.
Today we hopped on the trolley and rode out to the Garden District and had lunch at this little corner bar/restaurant called Parasols. John said his Po'Boy was better than Johnnie's. After lunch we walked around the old mansions. One of them is the home of novelist Anne Rice who writes vampire novels. We rode the trolley back to the Quarter so we could prepare to leave in the morning. Tonight we have reservations at NOLA Restaurant. This is an Emeril dining experience.
