Greetings from New Orleans

[mick]

Hello from the Fair Grounds Race Course in NOLA. (My 2019 Road Trips have started about 10 days early.)

It's a beautiful day in New Orleans with lots of sunshine and the temperature in the 60's, so I left my jacket in the car. I told my friend Galen that I was wearing my Saratoga shirt because they might think I was somebody. And it worked! They gave me a table at the finish line.

Last night I had oysters on the half shell, grilled grouper and an excellent local amber beer. Today, the appetizer was seafood gumbo and some delicious Louisiana iced tea.

There are a lot of 2YO stakes races today so I don't know how many bets I'll make but there's always the scenery, the food and the drink. Wish you all were here. We'd have a fine time.

Laissez les bon temps rouler.
