Bixby in Bywater

We went down to Bywater and ran into Bixby! M was there too, imagine that.  They were staying with a cool cat named C and another bike-traveller, R, was there as well.  We've been here two days now, hanging out late into the night over fires, eating Ben and Jerry's, hitting up the nearby wine & cheese venue as well as the French Quarter.

C had a fenced in yard so we were able to leave Meadow and go busking without having to tie her up on a busy street.  We made OK money (not Ocean Springs good but decent) and the Frenchman Street atmosphere is an unparalleled party... Still, the constant stream of noisy traffic and party buses with their jet-engine-level top 40 hip hop didn't make for ideal FCF concert conditions... haha.  New Orleans is unlike anywhere we've ever been.

We met our gypsy friends again... Some combination of that group of folks is always busking.

Olive has had an itchy week, thank goodness for mineral oil.
Meadow doesnt look up from her chickweed salad but simply takes it in stride when overeager dogs jump and nip at her face.
