The last days of this journey moved as quickly as the current in this majestic river.

The last time I was in New Orleans was 21 years ago. Mike and I visited and stayed in Jerry Zachary’s B&B in the French Quarter.  Jerry was such delightful company that we ended up talking and laughing together until the wee hours during that visit.  Surprisingly (and I think it’s even a surprise to Jerry and I), we have stayed in contact throughout all the years since then.  When he learned of my journey, he invited me to visit and I was thrilled to see him again. It’s another example of friendship that lives and flourishes regardless of time and distance.  This was a quick visit, packed with good people, fabulous food, lively conversations and gracious hospitality. Thank You!  I would have loved more time, but our raindrop was like a racehorse nearing the finish line and nothing could stop her now.
