oritsu_luvWell, I'm back from New Orleans! A big thanks to Mels and all of her family for being so warm and showing me such a great time!
It was my second time there, but my first time staying with friends, so even though I was still a tourist, it was a very different experience, since I got to do things that I wouldn't have if I'd just been staying in a hotel. The first of course was getting to spend the time with Melly! It was so great to see her again! (I can't believe it'd been a whole year!) And her family - her mom and dad and Natata and her extended family - were all so warm and so sweet! I had a great time!
And I still love N.O, it's just so beautiful and atmospheric, and I think I'll always associate with with Lestat and co, no matter how much time has passed. I was really sad to leave it all.
Here are some of the highlights of the trip:
- We went into the French Quarter twice!
- Mel and I went to Destrehan plantation, which turned out to be where they filmed two scences in 'Interview with a Vampire.' XD
- Went to a yarn store with Mel's friend Laura and got stuck there for about 2 hours when her car broke down!
- Went dancing until 3 am at the House of Blues with Mel's friends Laura, Shellie and Victor (free tickets thanks to Victor's cousin!)
- Went to a birthday party in Metairie cemetary for Mel's dead cousin. The cemetary was so pretty! And it turned out that Anne's family plot is there, because we passed it on the way out. It was very elaborate.
- Had a lot of good food, and good company! XD
