Today's Frog In Exile News

[infrogmation]

Ms. Hollie & I took a half-day vacation from our refugee status yesterday to visit St. Augustine Florida, 45 miles away.

Old Spanish colonial town, a good part of it jammed with tourists, also a bohemian and artistic community.

Felt like home.

The local jazz band playing "Girl From Ipanima" on the main square, however....

Well, I still havn't been able to round up enough fellow evacuees here in Jacksonville to start a brass band and a carnival krewe, so we'll probably be heading west within the week.

Things seem to be comming together faster on the West Bank than in Orleans, so I may wind up crashing at Ms. Hollie's in Terrytown for a bit.

Thanks to Ms. Hollie for keeping me sane through this all.

sweet. (me via vyoma and neworleans )I haven't been to St Augustine since I was a little kid.. I loved the city. Last big vacation before the big Divorce. My parents took me to the passion play there.. I loved the town it wonderful. I keep hoping to go there again one day, as I do my former home of New Orleans.. It's a shame that I haven't been able to convince my hubby to go there.. now he's like "we have to go now to see how it looks" but it won't be the same. He doesn't know it like I do.. I'll just be glad when it all comes back. =)

Take heart, as I know it will.. do you have a camera with you that you were able to take any pix while you were in St Augustine?

our thoughts and prayers are with you all..
pamela =)
