evening was NOT being filmed and some of us went out for a wonderful meal at Jubans. This is a popular, expensive restaurant in Baton Rouge. My steak, with Bernaise sauce, followed by creme brulee were superb. Kitty and I treated our hosts-- the least we could do for the hospitality we experience whenever we visit.SUNDAY found our team headed for Livingston, a small town south of BR. The captain, Mavis, who just turned 74, put on a three course lunch which the filming crew decided was the best home cooked meal they had yet experienced. We were filmed eating and joking, both of which we do constantly.
When we finished the meal, we were supposed to leave Mavis's son's rebuilt plantation home and have a tea party outside Mavis's house. Because it was about 105 degrees outside, we pretended we were having a tea party in the living room. We were supposed to dress elegantly for this so we all had our finest dress and heels.
But today is MONDAY and I am comfortable in white capris and a tan v-neck t-shirt with my strappy sandals. I'm flying from BR to Dallas to Seattle to Victoria and then will drive home in the nice cool of the Island evening. It will have been eleven hours of travel and home will be a welcome sight. But the adventure and memories shared with my special friends make it all worthwhile.
