made it to New Orleans

Just before midnight. Had a few bourbons at the Quartz Bar "open until 6 am" which fits the schedule of 9 am departure from Union Station, New Orleans, LA. Just had a super breakfast at Leni's Cafe on Baronne Street. Perfect diner counter meal with a hot sausage po boy to go. I'll be a hit at lunch on the train to LA. Side trip to the grocery next door and then off to ride the rails.
