Where in the world?

River Street Sweets
The Lady & Sons
Tubby's Tankhouse
"The Book"
Broughton Street

We've been here about 24 hours and so far I've already eaten at least two pralines, the best green beans I've ever had, ever, biscuits and gravy, and tonight we're going to fill up on Grouper fingers.

Our rooms overlook the river and last night we wrapped ourselves in blankets and stood out on the balcony to watch a giant ship roar toward the ocean. A man on the street shouted up that he would bring us roses. The dank smell of the water wafted in and the wind whipped through our hair.

It's a city full of mystery, full of possibility. And lots of Grouper fingers.
