It can’t be time to go home already! Three and a half days isn’t enough to see the city.
Luckily, we found a top notch breakfast spot, the Camilla Grill at Toulouse and Chartiers. The wonderful diner atmosphere and friendly staff (except for the sleepy cashier) was topped only by the tasty food. I had a mushroom omelette with hash browns and sausage, while Kelly had what was the best pecan pie either of us had ever tasted.
After my morning sessions, we checked out of the hotel, left our bags with the bell captain, and set out for one more walk around.
The garden at Jackson Square centers around this statue of Major General Jackson.
Coop’s Place came highly recommended, and it the only place we had to wait in line for a seat. There was a Murphy Brown moment when another line waiter held open the door to peek inside and was chastised with a hearty “close the door”. On a warm day like today, I guess they want to keep the cool, air conditioned air inside.
I was in the mood for a hamburger, while Kelly ordered the Cajun fried chicken. Both were excellent. We had a nice chat with the couple from Philly at the next table.
After lunch, we took a pedicab back to Camilla’s so Kelly could have one more piece of that pecan pie (ala mode this time). Then it was back to the airport to head home. Already looking forward to the next trip.
