Getting Started

We all get through security except Brent and Edie They went through there stuff and took some items. Brent tried to pay for his checked luggage with his credit card and it was denied. I think he is getting to think this is a bad oman. We had a great experience at this little Branch This is the same Church the the University of Utah members attended when they were there for the Sugar Bowl. This guy was all polished up. At first I thought it was a statue. He started to move with the music and was looking for a donation. It was actually pretty entertaining The building in the French Quarter were pretty cool looking We got a treat at a place called "Cafe De Mode" They were famous in the French Quarter for making something like a Scone with LOTS of powder sugar. People were sitting at a table to eat them. Can't imagine how you could eat them without standing over. Catherine had the best stance We spent part of the Day in the French Quarter

of New Orleans seeing the sights. They were

playing awesome music in the park area

We Walked along the boardwalk. This guy just held in

this position without moving. It made my arms tired.

He wanted you to put money in the box in front of him.

If he worked as hard at a job as he did to hold still he could

probably hold a pretty good job. We go through port security...they make us

take off things like in the airport. They reminded me

that I needed to take off my watch and put it in the

plastic bin. It goes through the xray and comes out the

otherside. It only went 6 feet. I get my coat and go to

put my watch on my wrist.....It's gone. I tell the Security

that I wanted my watch. We ended up going up the level

of Supervisors at three levels. I tell them that it wasn't a very

expensive watch but somebody owes me a watch. I tell them

that only person by me was my brother and he wouldn't steal

my watch. They asked if they could talk to him. They are all waiting

on the otherside of security wondering what it taking me so long....

Edie and Brent come over and I said did you steal my watch. They

said No....Then they looked in her purse and there is my watch.

You Turkey Brent...... I will get even.
