My wife and I really enjoyed meeting and staying with Betsy. She is very knowlegeable about arts/music in the area. We particualary enjoyed the restaurants and wine bar about 4 blocks away in Central Esplanade. The shrimp po boy at Liussa's is the food highlight of our trip so far.
Also really enjoyed sitting on Betsy's porch, on an oak tree lined street,sharing wine and solving (or at least identifying) the world's problems.
