Today was a short drive, only 3 and 1/2 hours. After a stop at the Louisiana information center (where we picked up a few brochures) we arrived at the townhouse we rented in Metairie. Metairie is a suburb of New Orleans. It's about 10 km from the townhouse to the French Quarter.

The townhouse is really nice. At 2000 square feet it's larger than our house and John & Carol's house. The townhouse owners were there to give us the keys and show us around. We definitely lucked into a good place this year.

Before we unloaded, we went to a small neighborhood restaurant called Sammy's for lunch. Ed, Carol and I had shrimp po-boys and John had a catfish po-boy. Delicious.

John and Carol brought a new toy for Zaph. Think he's comfortable in the townhouse already.
