french quarters

today, i went on a stroll through the french quarters. i didn't want to be stuck in the hotel all day, breathing stale air. i got the sunshine and fresh air but also encountered some weird circus-like music. it blared all over the quarters and was off-key or something, like the machine that's blasting it was drunk. it is new orleans, i guess.

as i headed back to the hotel, the source of the music seemed to start following me. i almost started running. i kept looking back, expecting to see something like an ice-cream or coffee truck but maybe an alcohol truck instead. there was nothing, however. i don't do drugs and can't drink so i know i was sober. really. i think i'm just going to avoid the quarters for a while.
