I spent the weekend in New Orleans with my parents. Dinner at Galatoire's Friday night (duck crepe, turtle soup, poisson meuniere amandine, coffee chocolate layered over chocolate mousse covered with whipped cream), Insectorium, Riverwalk, WWII Museum and Vincent's Saturday night. Pretty nice.
Saturday morning we were wandering outside the French Quarter and saw three or four guys wearing red dresses. This does not cause one to look twice in New Orleans, especially in the area of the Quarter. You're almost guaranteed to see stranger things than that.
But it didn't end there. Apparently there was a breast cancer run being put on by the New Orleans Hash House Harriers. There were THOUSANDS of people running around in red dresses. Every participant, male and female, was in a red dress of some variety. Even in New Orleans, that's enough to get some attention. The Hash members refer to themselves as "A Drinking Club With a Running Problem".
In closing, if you get a chance to stay at the Ritz Carlton outside the Quarter, take it.
And run with it.
Red dress optional.
