Well we just returned from a repeat trip to The Greenhouse Inn in New Orleans. The Greenhouse B&B is still great but unfortunately tropical storm Beta materialized seemingly out of nowhere in the Gulf of Mexico and just sat there during our whole stay. Temps in the low 70's 30 to 40 mph wind and tons of rain made for tough going. We did not use the pool at all but we were able to heat up the Spa for a number of dips. To top it off Rio the talking Macaw was done in by a stray cat a few months back. Kipling the resident doggie is very much alive and kicking.

We spent a lot of time walking around the Garden District and the French Quarter. We also used the streetcars quite a bit, $3 lets you ride anywhere for 24 hours. We also took the ferry to Old Algiers for $1 each way. We did have some great food at Peche, Mr Ed's Oyster house and brunch at the Court of the Two Sisters.

Not sure if it is due to Covid or not but there seemed to be many more wasted and/ or homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks of the French Quarter. For the most part they did not bother anyone but it is a sad situation. Social distancing was really not much of a problem as the City of New Orleans is still in Phase 2 and requires facemasks pretty much everywhere, even on the sidewalks. The rest of Louisiana is in phase 3.

Guess every trip cannot be perfect but we did make the most of it and we would still recommend the Greenhouse and the great staff.
