12:33 PM Oct 21st from TwitPic So, folks, magic is afoot here every day. When will you come to New Orleans to find your muse? When will you allow yourself the experience?<br />
<br />
12:27 PM Oct 21st from web She jumped out of my car, grateful for the ride. Yet, *I* was the one grateful for having had Ursula from Paris, France share her story w/me<br />
<br />
12:26 PM Oct 21st from web By the time I got to the Roosevelt, downtown was covered in Saints & Jets jerseys, the rain had let up & Ursula was eager to grab a cocktail<br />
<br />
12:25 PM Oct 21st from web Ursula said THAT experience here in New Orleans would go down as one of the most precious of her life.<br />
<br />
12:24 PM Oct 21st from web When she finished, everyone on the streetcar stood & gave her a rousing ovation with cheers of "BRAVA! BRAVA!" including the driver.<br />
<br />
12:23 PM Oct 21st from web as the streetcar lazily rolled past Victorian mansions & ancient oak trees on St. Charles Avenue.<br />
<br />
12:22 PM Oct 21st from web The opera singer then proceeded to sing Ursula's favourite song from her favourite opera with the most emotion possible,<br />
<br />
12:21 PM Oct 21st from web Ursula asked the opera singer/mother if she had a favourite opera. She said yes & her favourite song/aria(?) was Ursula's favourite!<br />
<br />
12:20 PM Oct 21st from web Turns out, Lil Boy's mother is a world-famous opera singer who was in New Orleans on vacation & was taking the streetcar ride w/her son.<br />
<br />
12:18 PM Oct 21st from web While riding the St. Charles streetcar, she befriended a little boy who was sitting next to her. He was w/his mother. Ursula recognized her.<br />
<br />
12:13 PM Oct 21st from web Ursula loves opera. She told me of her favourite opera & her favourite "song"? aria? (forgive, I'm not opera-literate.)<br />
<br />
12:12 PM Oct 21st from web It is pure magic here & we often shake our heads and mumble #OnlyInNewOrleans as New Orleanians are want to do.<br />
<br />
12:11 PM Oct 21st from web Her highlight was on the Saint Charles Streetcar & I share this with you today because things like this happen in my great city EVERY day.<br />
<br />
12:10 PM Oct 21st from web She was in love with New Orleans and excitedly shared with me all the wonderfully cultural things she was doing while here.<br />
<br />
12:09 PM Oct 21st from web Her name was Ursula, she's from Paris, France & was in town for 2 weeks visiting her brother, who lives here for a little while.<br />
<br />
12:09 PM Oct 21st from web I offered her a ride, she accepted as she was going to meet friends at the Roosevelt Hotel's bar before the Saints/Jets (I think) game.<br />
<br />
12:08 PM Oct 21st from web *hip looking, meaning she looked like a a student from elsewhere or a worldly tourist with style.<br />
<br />
12:07 PM Oct 21st from web I saw a hip looking* girl standing alone @ the streetcar stop, getting drenched.<br />
<br />
12:06 PM Oct 21st from web Coupla weeks ago on a Sunday, I was driving home from yoga, crossing streetcar tracks on St. Charles just as a heavy downpour began falling.<br />
<br />
12:05 PM Oct 21st from web I'm a little busy today, folks. Wanted to share a story to keep NOLA in your hearts while I'm out living my life....Neallaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02491217259950435123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446476781684327578.post-76761286849274262232009-10-03T07:09:00.000-07:002009-10-17T07:23:20.870-07:00New Weekend Brunch MenuFuel Café<br />
