Slow season in New Orleans

The 2200 block of Esplanade Avenue

Unless they have family here, most people don't come to New Orleans for Christmas or Thanksgiving.  They don't come to New Orleans in August, either.  This is the slow season in the tourism business.  It's the slow season in any kind of business.  In August, everything in the city slows down.  It is a nice kind of pace.

Tammie, the housekeeper

Even though it is the slow season, we have been very busy.  The inn and the property are works in progress.  We have been making improvements; some of them small, some of them large.

We have been redecorating the suites, moving things around, getting the right zen alignment, coaxing the feng sui, maximizing habitability, reupholstering some chairs.  If you come to New Orleans, you should be comfortably attuned to your surroundings.  There is something in the air.

Tammy, the housekeeper, typed up today's blog post for me.  (Thanks, Tammie!).  She asked me if she could post a real picture of herself instead of the drawing of the woman with a pipe.  "You know I don't like that picture," she said.

I do know she doesn't like it, so I offered that she could post this picture instead, taken at Monkey Hill in Audubon Zoo:

Darwinian company

Tammie, the housekeeper, hit me with her feather duster when she saw this picture.
