Day seventy five - Friday

We'd hoped to get Sadie out of the hospital today but we got a call from the Vet who said she needs to stay through the weekend. She's doing better but still needs some treatment. So, we'll be here a few more days.
This afternoon we drove back to Riverwalk where we had dinner at Pat O'Briens. Although we had drinks in the Piano Bar at the New Orleans Pat O'Briens, we didn't have dinner. So, tonight we had dinner at Pat O'Briens. Ann had the Caesar Salad with Blackened Chicken. The chicken was very good. I had a small Caesar Salad and a combination appetiser with Chicken Wings, Coconut Shrimp, Catfish and Alligator. I hadn't had alligator before so I was anxious to try it. It came deep fried with a mustard dip. I found the alligator meat itself to be bland and a little chewy. Not bad but not great. I won't go out of my way to have it again but won't avoid it either. Perhaps if it was grilled rather than deep fried it may be better.

After dinner we walked around Riverwalk again for a short time. It's Friday night and Riverwalk was more crowded and the restaurants busier than the past few nights.

Tomorrow we're supposed to have thunderstorms, so we're not sure what we're going to do. Maybe nothing, maybe SeaWorld.

Map is updated to show states we've visited in the motor home on this trip.

Good luck with the dog. I know how that can be. Our little yorkie broke a leg and had to have a foot amputated. Stay loose.
