| With just over 24 hours remaining in 2022, we rolled into our home away from home at the India House Hostel, complete with fat fluffy hostel cat Taj Mahal. |
 |
| Ringing in the new year with Craft Comedy at Zony Mash. |
 |
| Over the next few days, we meandered around the French Quarter, the Warehouse District, and the Garden District, frequenting St. James's Cheese Company, one of the few places without a fried dish on the menu. We criss-crossed the town in street trolleys, listened to live music at the Spotted Cat, and sipped on mint juleps on Bourbon St. |
 |
| Our last day in town went better than predicted: from the storm clouds that never really broke to the email informing us that we'd at long last gotten our certification as foster parents! We spent the bulk of the day in the City Park admiring the imaginative sculptures and finally sampling beignets from the Café du Monde. |
 |
| We caught a flight home with the bestest passenger. |
