I awoke in a comfortable bed in New Orleans but felt like I never really slept. We ate at the Ruby Slipper, a place famous for brunch. Though it had a full bar for those not recovered from the previous night’s fun or those wishing to start the party early, I skipped that and just had a ridiculous amount of pork on a buttermilk biscuit.

We spent two days walking along the river or wandering the French quarter taking time in between to let me lay down and rest in the hotel. Neither of us have ever been to New Orleans so we made sure we did some of the tourist things. Mostly I tried to take it easy.
