Today is Friday and this week has just flown by. I believe that I have gained 10 pounds this week. Chiquie is the greatest cook ever and every where we have been to eat in this town has been fabulous. I think I eaten more this week then my all inclusive week in Jamaica! Last night was fantastic. We had dinner here. We started with spicy artichoke toasts and pulled port embanidas (sp?). Then we had cajun potato salad, grilled veggies (eggplant, portabello mushrooms and red onions) with apricot glazed pork loan cooked on the grill. For desert it was brownie sundeas.
After we ate, we headed to a place called the Rock n Bowl to listen to some Zydeco music. It was awesome. Like Jamaica music only faster. Lisa, Cat and I all danced with a rather crazy old man and he gave us all a gold medal in Zydeco dancing. He included a business card so we looked him up on line hoping that he wasn't some kind of pervert. We determined he was just a nice old lonely man looking for some fun. Although all the mushroom pictures on his website were a little strange!
Today we are going back to Gloria's to finish up her yard and then we are going to be tourists. We are going on a swamp tour in an air boat and then shopping in the French quarter and then on a riverboat dinner cruse for more jazz music.
Ann got in last night and Randy and the girls and I were her welcoming committee. I didn't get to sleep until 1 and still woke up at 6:30. I am a little tired today.
Oh, yesterday I was in KITTY HEAVEN! We worked at an animal shelter. Patrick and I got to work with the cats. I believe there were about 55 of them. We had to clean out all the cages and then feed and water them. I am in love with a little girl named Minnie. She looks a lot like my Stanley. Randy is thinking of adopting a dog, so if he does I may have Minnie shipped home to me. I am sure that Rusty will be more then happy about that.
Well, it is time for yet another delicious breakfast from Anna, so I am off to start my day.
Love,
Jean

Hi Jean!
Great post! I love reading about the food, and the animals, and the dancing, and all that you guys have been up to. You have been busy - I'd be tired, too! But I hope you have a great last day, and what a lasting legacy of assistance to the need of critters in that fine old city if you adopt that cat!
Yours truly!
