• Oh Hello Again, NOLA

  

  Day 138

  We did a full 360 around the middle finger of America (that’s Florida for you non-visual types). We wound up all the way back in New Orleans! This still might be our most favourite place of all.

  With melodic jazz harmonies melting across our faces, we’re working our tails off in this cozy coffee shop. No rest for the wicked, they say. Have you ever understood that phrase? I certainly don’t. It makes no sense whatsoever. If you actually dissect that idiom, every single person in existence, except those lackadaisical lads and lasses we envy, are all evil. And I guarantee Travis and yours truly are not of the nefarious variety. Neither are you, I’m sure.

  At any rate, we’re anchoring ourselves to the familiarity of these cobble streets and whimsical buildings for a couple days before we have to drive the remaining eight hours to Austin, TX in time for the greatest geek festival in existence, South By Southwest. Travis talked me into it this year (I suppose I didn’t have a lot of options, what with him taking Walter and all). I could have waited patiently on the sidewalk for him to come back two weeks later. But who am I kidding? I am so excited to be out of Florida and so thrilled to be one with the geeks! All of my (our) new found peeps will be there. From Edmonton, to Calgary, to Seattle, to San Francisco, to Los Angeles, to Boston, to Jacksonville, to New York, and plenty more,  we’ll be surrounded by familiar, friendly faces.

  Have we mentioned that we’ve been people-starved for the last four months? Oh my god, it’s lonely on the road. If we had a harmonica, we’d have created Harmonic Hero by now due to our heightened attention-seeking behaviour and a budding proclivity toward the blues.

  We can’t wait to see you all.

  And we can’t wait to see the rest of y’all when we get back home in four months. XOXO
