New Orleans was a treat. The weather was wonderful (e it poured), It has been too long since ARLIS has met there, the opportunities fo and decorative arts programs are numerous and varied, and for us many foodies, w oysters morning, noon, and night while sampling other people's gumbos, jambalayas, po'boys and muffalettas.
