What a treat! Beverly's Queen Room was a quiet, lush, comfy haven from the madness that is Mardi Gras week. Great bed and bathroom, lovely high ceilings, beautiful old house with much evidence of a creative lady who was whipping out numerous fancy parade costumes. I did not miss being able to cook--- the fridge, microwave and coffee bar were just fine, cause I ate out all the time anyway. (NOLA, after all.) I would sit and read from her great library in the parlor with the cat on my lap, listening to the raggedy second lines go by at 8 in the morning, knowing I was in a completely different country from my farm in Oregon! I feel like I have made a new friend --- and will be back next year! (Thanks for the King Cake! :) )
