In which I wait for clothes to spin...

Things here aren't as clear cut and schedualed as things have been so far.

But so far I'm loving this city.

Thursday, we did a lot of wandering around. We went to Hippie Gypsie and looked at the dresses. Jake got a Hackie Sack that he really really likes. Minimalist.
We had lunch at Pierre Maspero's. I really enjoyed that. (But Ricky already wrote about our food schedual)
We saw the Church of St. Louis. It was pretty. We stayed there and marvled at the architecture for a bit.
MB got her fortion told.
We went to get hats, though I was the only one that ended up buying anything.
We got super hot spicey hot sauce, and went to a toy shop.
And other than that, we did a lot of just soaking up the French quarter's vibe.
We decided to save money, and had Kraft Mac'n'Cheese for dinner. A total of 3.79 for the four of us.

Friday was equily as chill. We woke up late, and headed uptown. There we saw Ricky's grandmother's old house, and the park. Then we headed back to the hostel for a bit, then out again to the French Quarter for dinner. We went to Chartre's Cafe. The Girls really enjoyed it, but the boys didn't as much. Then, exhausted, we all went to sleep.
So not a terribly busy day in the long run.

Saturday (today) we're flowing along.
We woke up and headed over to Galatoire's. Very expensive stuff. We all had to be dressy to go there. But the food was very good. It was rainig when we left, which really worried me. This is because on Thursday, I had seen an art vendor that I realllllyyy wanted to buy from, but he was packing up before I could do so. He said he would be back on Saturday, and I wondered if the rain would scare him off.
We headed back over to Jackson Square where we had seen him. And Lucky for me, he was still there! Very happily, I spent some extra money to buy two of his pieces.
Then we headed home.
I guess I'm in charge of Laundry. So that's what I've been doing while everyone else is up to their usual. Jake is listening to music and playing gameboy. Ricky is on his computer. MB is reading a book.
So daddy, you can't say that I never do laundry. Cause here I am, doing laundry and telling you all about it.
Laundry room is very hot and stuffy. :(

Well, the load is almost done. I should get back too it.

More blog to come.
