10 June 2010

Quite a day. Got up relatively early and took Splash out for his morning constitutional. There were quite a few other canines in the hotel so he was not by himself. Had breakfast at the hotel and away we go....

We had planned to head down to the Gulf and targeted Grand Isle, but as "fate" would have it, we took a wrong turn and ended up in a place called Cocodire, LA. Although close to Grand Isle it does not get the publicity. This is probably the way the real world lives. Preconstructed homes on stilts (some with the wheels still on.) Many boats anchored and not out working. There was also a section of the Inter Coastal Waterway that runs down/up the peninsula. Very narrow and one wonders how a boat can navigate. But there were some rather large boats moored so I guess it can be done. (however the draw bridges only can be raised with a 4 day notice and between the hours of 10p and 4a.)Certainly not something we would look forward to.

By the way the BP Claim Center parking lot was full.






Arrived in New Orleans at about 330p and just rode around the French Quarter and the Riverwalk. We decided to do our touring at another time, without you know whom! It is very hot and humid here (well over 100 today) Not good for dog or beast!



Had a terrific meal at a local place, Harborview Bar and Restaurant. Great shrimp and Gumbo. Although one does need to wonder where the Harbor was and where the view was as well...

Splash seems to be adjusting, however he still makes an awful noise when he is left in the room by himself. He is getting better! Not as frantic and not as long! So there's hope!

Plan on an early day tomorrow, but we'll see....

Until them take care and have a good Friday.

Love,
H and KK
