My sister is in town this week, and we are having a fantastic time.  But that does mean I haven’t been riding my bike as much.  So while she spent the day at the Pop Culture Association meetings, I took the chance to take Jack on a speedy ride to work.  It was a beautiful day in New Orleans, and it felt amazing to be back on the bike.  After work I sped down to the Quarter via St. Charles to meet back up with E.  We headed over to Cafe du Monde for some beignets.  I locked my bike to the railing and we sat and watched folks walk by.  I also spent a good amount of time watching my bicycle.  I snapped this picture to catch the limo in the background, with the license plate #BRLIMO.  Ah, Baton Rouge.  I wonder who takes a limousine from Baton Rouge all the way to New Orleans.  I only and ever want to ride my bicycle.  It has been so, so strange to drive around this town over the past few days.  I realize I don’t even really know how to drive here.  I got lost driving home from Mid-City; I never get lost by bike.  I spent several minutes today trying to figure out how to take a left both onto and off of Canal.  Last night I actually waited around for twenty minutes to take the streetcar!  Man, life’s easier with a bicycle, that’s for sure.  But I’ll trade some bike rides to have the sister in town.  But as soon as she’s gone, I’m going on a long, long ride.  God, I love that bike.
