Stuff - Running Away from Home


An Artic Blast reached the Deep South these past few days. It dropped to the 20sF at night (-6C or so.)


The heater decided to emit carbon dioxide, so I started using an electric heater. I was still cold.


We decide to go to a hotel. I call my friend, who is able to accomodate us.(Thank you, PD!)


This is the first time that I have played tourist in my hometown. Although, I didn't walk too much in the French Quarter; the entire weekend was too cold.



I slept in a corner attic room. Very nice and quiet.


We stayed there from Friday 8th to this morning.


One good thing out of all of this is that my electric bill will be lower than everyone else in the city. And, I was able to catch up on some reviews and start some new novels.


Maybe I can return to the Hotel St. Marie in the Fall to be able to enjoy the experience of being a tourist.

That is a beautiful hotel! The two times I've gone to New Orleans I didn't stay in the French Quarter - bummer. Glad you have heat now! And, are the temps still going to be so low? We are having lots of rain now.

Hi Iliana, the hotel will be remodeled soon! We are having rains and fog for this weekend, but it's a bit warmer.

ACDU - It was too cold to enjoy it too much, but now the weather is close to perfect. A bit chilly but not enough to numb you.
