New Orleans, Louisiana. The Ric Murphy Book Tour Bus stopped in New Orleans and there is no city like “The Big Easy,” with its jambalaya, Po-Boy, and crawfish; its rhythmic Jazz, Zydeco and Blue Grass sounds on Bourbon Street; and its party atmosphere and people watching–what great fun as always. The book signing at the Sheraton Hotel on Canal Street was such a success, I ran out of books. But, don’t worry, the 30 pounds of books that were taken to the hotle was met with 30 pounds of extra weight coming back on the airplane, I clearly enjoyed myself and ate and drank too much!
