Before leaving Memphis we had to eat one more time at our new favorite breakfast place, the Blue Plate Cafe. Today our waitress, Rosa Lee, was the woman who gave us directions to the Mud Island River Museum on Monday. Since our waitress on Monday morning claimed she had a poor sense of direction she recruited help from Rosa Lee. As I recall her directions were “You go down that way for a bit. Turn left there, I don’t know the name of the street. Go down the hill toward the river and asked someone down there”. Well Rosa Lee was about as good of a waitress as she was a tour guide so we got a late start on our trip to New Orleans.
On the road to the Big Easy, Patrice did a great job driving while I navigated (“Go south on highway 55 until you smell the alcohol, vomit and urine and then you’ll know we are there”).
Dinner was at the Palm Court Jazz Cafe, recommended by my friend Steve. Dinner was excellent and the music fantastic. The hostess danced with the band. See the attached video for a brief snippet.
It is a bit humid here and Patrice wants to go to another museum tomorrow. I might hide by the pool.
Until later y’all,
Robert
