Under the weather

Archived post from our February 2007 trip

Robert here. Nothing very adventurous to report. I've come down with what I hope is just a summer cold (at least it's summery) and have been in bed most of two days eating oranges. I think I'm past the worst of it.

Yesterday I explored a modern supermarket looking for Tylenol. Today I discovered that fish Pho does the job of chicken soup.

Right now, I'm sitting in the corner coffee shop watching the traffic. ONe thing I've been admiring is how "people scaled" the streets and buildings are. There's more French colonial architecture left here than I anticipated, and certain blocks look like pictures of the French quarter in New Orleans.
