Memoirs of a Tomb Raider

Just saw a big, beautiful grey American staffordshire terrier get off the plane. He literally sat under the seat with his people.

2 and a half hours of sleep. Safely in the plane. Heading to LA.

Monday, we walked. A lot. We took the city in, block by block. We ate at an amazing Italian place, went and visited a new friend, and just took it all in.

Sunday Morning: Josh and I woke up with plans to hit La Pavillion  (http://www.lepavillon.com/) for breakfast, as they have amazing eggs Benedict and bananas foster fresh made.

There was a threat of storm while we were out gallivanting, but it was worth the risk.   We hit a McDonalds before we crossed a long, empty,swamp area on the way to our destination.  After breakfast we drove over the swamp to check out 6 flags. When we got there, we saw how closed it really was. Multiple fences and a guard at the closed gate. We drove around a little more to get pictures from the road with no success. After that, we decided to go back to town and some exploring again. Shopping on magazine street turned up a beautiful french bakery, where I got chocolate vanilla mouse , and Josh, his fresh lemon sorbet with a small bit of chocolate We hit bourbon street to get pictures a
