Day One
New Orleans isn’t the best place for an energy-sensitive
shaman with a deadly shellfish allergy. As the shuttle driver from the New
Orleans Airport rattled off one restaurant after the other that featured what
equaled death-on-a-plate for me, I began to seriously regret not acquiring an
EPI pen before I left the desert.
Goals for the New
Orleans:
1.
Do research for books 4 and 5 in the Teen Wytche
Saga.
2.
Meet up with my Astraea Press colleagues at the
RT Booklovers Convention.
3.
Avoid
anaphylactic shock.
Terminator 5
My quest to avoid starvation and a trip to the Emergency
Room took me east on Common Street in search of Dominica restaurant. On Baronne
Street, I encountered white trucks blocking the street. Hollywood had come to
town! Locals walking past me voiced (fill in the expletives of your choice) their
anger/frustration over the disruption of traffic. The support trucks were for the
filming of Terminator 5. California’s former Govenator was nowhere in sight,
but I met several very nice (and busy) guys. Note to self: wear make-up and
high heels more often.
Food of the Day
OMG! Go to Domenica and order the Tartufo. Dark chocolate
semifreddo, malted chocolate, and candied orange. Beyond fabulous!

Next: Walking the wrong side of town in search of the mambo
queen.
