January 13, 2007


Yesterday (Saturday) we spent the afternoon in the French Quarter, New Orleans. Dale & Jeannie Peercy (friends of ours we met while doing MDS in Texas who also recruited us to Pensacola and then deserted us!) drove down from Ohio to Louisiana for their work with Lutheran Disaster Response. So, they called us up to see if we could meet and we were happy to drive to NO to meet up with them. The night before, we spent the evening with Mom & Dad Doerksen in their Navarre Beach condo (a little spaghetti, a little wine...) and than we all left in the morning. First stop: gas. Second stop: Whataburger for taquitos (which are yummy Charlene & Alvin!) and Starbucks for coffee before we headed out on our "tri-state adventure" - from Florida to Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.


We ate lunch at Acme Oyster House, walked around a bit and stopped for cafe au laits and beinets at Cafe du Monde, my main reason I go to the French Quarter.

Grandpa and Elinor.

Hey Marissa - notice the little outfit (onesie and jeans)? They fit!

Mom sitting along the Mississippi River.

(And how on earth did I post doubles?? Why does blogger do weird things?)
