Seven states in 2 days and you can call Miss Caprise

What a crazy busy fun week!!! I flew out to New Orleans on Tuesday and drove back to WI with Beth. She gets married in 15 days!!!! Her honey has to work so he is flying to WI as it gets closer to the wedding.

New Orleans is so cool. After going there it makes me even angrier that we seem to have forgotten about them. Beth took me to Bourbon St, the French Quarter, and near the Museum where she works. We went to this amazing swanky restaurant for lunch and I feasted on fresh seafood. Where Beth lives the water damage was very low however we did drive past the Superdome and you could see where the Hurricane had hit. The other thing about NO, as pretty as it is. As cool as it is, there is some serious poverty there. Yet people are still amazingly friendly. Because it is warm there are homeless people everywhere. Beth told me most of the time they just ask for food if you are carrying a takeout box. The violence on the news is near the areas more devastated by the hurricane. I guess I would be pissed too if my country turned it's back on me and expected me to live no better than an animal. Because there is little or no money in the Govt. and the National Guard is not where they should there have been a lot of shootings. Please don't let this sour you on NO. It is beautiful. You need to go. The food, people, and architecture make it so cool. Oh and did I mention the music and art? I can see why Beth and Chris stayed even after the hurricane.

I also went to Graceland.
People I am not a huge Elvis fan. I like him but not the songs that he is know for. I am more of a Rubberneckin' girl then Love Me Tender. Or in the Ghetto instead of Hounddog.
Either way you need to go. The jungle room is worth the trip alone. We topped it off with a visit to the Rock n Roll cafe where of course I had a peanut butter and banana fried sandwich.

Yesterday was a lot of driving. I got car sick. I have never got car sick before. So Beth gave me Dramaine and I was out for 2 hours! I woke up and took over the rest of the drive home. However it was on country roads. I am a city girl, it was bad news at 9 at night. Beth is so patient though and we powered through.

Today is my day to recoop. I am going to wrap up shower stuff and clean.
It was so great to have that time w/Beth. She is a wealth of knowledge and told me something about each state I did not know.
Also she is my best friend and I miss her.

In other news I have a new job.
I am going to be a Pre-school teacher for the YMCA!!!
I am pretty excited.
I will know more on Tuesday and fill you in then/

For now I need to clean up and eat.
Maybe take another nap!
