New Orleans
We went to New Orleans on Tuesday had beautiful warm weather didn't even wear a jacket. Archie's cousin Max and his wife Sherry went with us. We walked the Riverfront that was built for the Olympics, the moonwalk, also walked all over the French Quarter, took photos and ateonJackson Square then rode the trolley to the Garden District, then had coffee and beignets at the Cafe Du Monde, and took some interesting photos on Bourbon St.
Britton Hill, Florida High Point
Hard to imagine another one has come and will soon pass. Haven't been able to get to my blog for a bit. Work was really busy and this week on vacation I have very limited internet access ( it isn't in the condos we are in here actually). Ziggy is now over 50 points and has two placements ( a first and a second) towards his ASFA title. Hope he picks up some more this coming weekend in GA.
My hiking and climbing partner Archie and I have decided to see how many of the high points in the US we can make. Of course we did Clingman's dome. This week we did another of them Britton Hill in FL, photos here.It is a whopping 345 feet above sea level, and while it isn't a mountaineering expedition, it is one you have to go to if you want to start checking them off. We are going to drive to Lake Charles, LA tomorrow to visit Archie's daughter and his grandchildren and will hit LA's high spot Driskill Hill ( spot where Bonnie and Clyde were killed) on the way back to TN.
We went to New Orleans Tuesday and will put that in another blog entry with photos from there. It was great fun and just what I had hoped for.
My housesitter says I have 5 baby lambs, (there were 3 when I left). He said they are all up and playing.
