Could not agree more - good fields yesterday, bad news with the rain of course. Maker horse had no business winning that one. None. Not close on the figs anyway...and t wasn't even for Ken and Sarah.
Doesn't look like the big crowds are there at FG yet, but I'll make a trip for sure. Too long between between the French Quarter restaurants - you'll recognize them, they stand between the topless bars and t shirt shops which now populate the whole Quarter (at least last visit).
On the other hand, a visit to the WWII museum in on the agenda - I'm told it's terrific.
