We woke up to heavy fog! It was thick until around 11:00 AM and then the sun started to peek out. Thank goodness we were not planning on leaving because it was not a good day for traveling. I put chicken in the slow cooker for our dinner and we went for a walk over to Pontchartrain Landing RV and Marina to talk to Nate (the manager) about the slip situation. He apologized and said he will have a talk with the people in the front office. He said that we could move into one of the slips but since we already paid at Seabrook we decided to stay here. Teak did not like the walk too much because the road was rocky, the grass had "sticker burrs" and it hurt her paws. I had to carry her off and on when she refused to move! The rest of the day Josh watched TV and I read my book.....
Come on mom, it's time to go out!
Love the skeleton on the bow! We need this!!!!

We walked over to Pontchartrain Landing and took the 10:00 AM bus into downtown. Our last beignets and "people watching" in New Orleans for a while! We walked all around the French Quarter until the 4:00 PM bus pick up. Our feet hurt, but great exercise! On our way to get beignets we got to watch some of the filming of NCIS New Orleans. Saw Scott Bakula! We just could not leave New Orleans without buying something so Josh bought a top hat for the TMCA Commodore's Ball and I bought a Mardi Gras wig. Let's talk about the people watching! Everywhere you look you would see people or bands playing some kind of music and all kinds of street performers doing something for money. Some are good and some... WELL... what can I say! It looks like more people are coming to New Orleans and trying to make a living on the streets. On our bus trip home the bus driver took us through residential neighborhoods because the freeway was backed up. He pointed out the bad areas and not-so-bad areas but he did say almost all of New Orleans is now pretty bad. What really got to me was seeing new homes being built and they were already covered with graffiti. It's really sad to see so much vandalism. I do not understand why people have no respect for the property of others.

Yum! Beignets!

Fog again this morning, but dissipated by 8:00 AM and the sun came out looking like it was going to be a nice day. I cleaned the inside of the boat and Josh filled the water tanks for our departure tomorrow. When I took Teak out at 10 AM and Josh headed to the office to pay for another night, the temperature felt different. It was like a blast of cold air and all of a sudden, the fog came rolling in again. Within minutes we were totally fogged in! I hope it's not like this tomorrow or we stay put!!!!! The rest of the day was gloomy and Josh watched old movies on TV and I read a book.
Look what came in sometime yesterday! They are brand new, one inflatable with four engines and one Whaler with two engines. They are ready to catch some bad guys!!!!
