Rode UberX to Atchafalaya for brunch, arriving a little early. Patrick: eggs Treme, side of cream cheese grits, strawberry bellini, coffee. Frank: bananas foster french toast, side of vanilla yogurt, coffee. Walked Louisiana Avenue to Magazine Street to Washington Street, then walked along shops including Sucre, then viewed Commander's Palace from the outside, then visited Lafayette Cemetery #1 before continuing to St. Charles Avenue where we rode the streetcar, alighting at Canal Street. Walked to Harrah's where we used the restroom, then we walked to and boarded the Waterfront Streetcar, riding to Esplanade Avenue. Walked to Lamothe House. Rested and napped. Walked to Frenchman Street, had delicious fresh ginger lemonades at Cafe Rose Nicaud. Walked to Aunt Sally's to buy pralines. Walked in the French Quarter more, then rode UberX to Lola's on Esplanade Avenue. Dinner at Lola's: garlic brussels sprouts, crabmeat tropical, combo paella (size medium for two), side of french rolls with butter, red sangria for Patrick, water for me. Dessert: almond nougat ice cream, two cappuccinos. Rode UberX to Lamothe House. Packed. We briefly considered using the pool and hot tub but instead watched The Mummy Returns on television.
