Greek Fest, Parents, and Hot Pot

Well, I pulled a sweet move and acidentally deleted all the pictures that I took while my parents were here! Ahh!!!! I had so many good ones of alligators, family fun, and other such stuff...bummer. Well, I'm waiting on my Mom to send a CD down with all of her shots. So, you'll have to enjoy the few that didn't get deleated.

Here's Coach cracking up after working on his 'routine' where he hums When the Saints Go Marching In for spare change. Mom wasn't nearly as entertained as Dad was.

Took the folks over to St. Louis Cemetary #1

Of course we had to stop at Cafe Du Monde, my folks were staying about one block away from here in the French Quarter, a really neat hotel. The rate was probably so good because it's haunted with kids who died in a fire in the 1800's when it was a school. We heard they also use to hang people in the courtyard. Oh New Orleans. But at least it had a pool!

Me and Coach

I decided that we should go to this great free concert by our place on Saturday...too bad the festival didn't take place for another two weeks...woops. Well, it was a fun bike ride anyway!


This was Emily's last night in town, so we went out for hot pot. Little did Lindsey and I know that we would ever be soo excited to eat hot pot ever again, but it was great. We even made them put almost twice as much hot pepper in to make it truly Sichuanese.


It was a lot of fun. Had some bad Chinese beer, annoyed the staff by speaking Chinese the whole time, and had bellyaches all the next day...oh hot pot.

Lindsey and I biked over to a Greek Festival on Sunday that had some great food and other fun stuff. We ate gyros and had a big Greek dinner special. We also had pomegranite iced tea, pomegranite snowballs, and Lindsey bought some jangly bell things to wear.

This is from inside the church, we went on a small tour and they said that it was the oldest Green Orthodox Church in the hemisphere.

If you wore a toga, you got in free. We were basically the only ones wearing togas, but we didn't stick around for the toga contest, which Lindsey was pretty bummed about because she thought she had it wrapped up.

This was a cute old guy who was dancing the whole time by himself, and then this kid came out and joined him. Happy Memorial Day everybody!

Oh you guys crack me up...nice togas! How convenient Brian that when you FINALLY see alligators you DELETE the pictures. Sounds fishy to me.... ;)

Happy June!
