The Five Corners Run 2010

This year, we will be traveling along the borders of the United States; from southern California to Brownsville, Texas- to Key West, Florida to the northern border of Maine- across the Great Lakes into Canada, to northwestern Washington, and finally back home.

12,000 miles - 30 states - 3 countries.

We call our little jaunt the Five Corners Run…

New Orleans (Day 2)

Day 13
Destination: None
Route: None
Miles Ridden: None     Total Miles: 3,420

Points of Interest:
  • Pool
  • Rest and Relaxation
  • Palace Cafe, New Orleans

Today was our second day in New Orleans, and was a scheduled day of rest. A day to sleep in a little, to lay by the pool and to read a good book (using an e-book, of course).  That is exactly what we did.

We did get away from the hotel long enough to have dinner. We were looking for something "light," and saw a cafe on Canal Street called the Palace Cafe. We wanted to be back early enough to watch the final episode of 24, possibly the only fiction show on TV that shows how to handle national emergencies, and how being politically correct can further damage our country. The "cafe" turned out to be a five star hotel with excellent food, and even better service. We had filet mignon, blackened fish, pork shank, crab, etc., but the highlight may have been an appetizer call crab cheesecake. I know...it sounds strange. But it was very, very good, and we got back early enough to catch the second hour. It was worth missing the first hour.
