Laura went to Vegas today around lunch time, gave me the keys to her house, and told me to make myself at home. I went out to meet up with Benjamin Harlow (fellow couchsurfer). We rode bikes around town, sat by the waterfront, bought a couple beers, split a grilled shrimp po-boy (18″), walked around the French Quarter to enjoy the art and music, and generally had a great time.

On the way back to the house, the rough New Orleans roads took a toll on my bike. The rear fender came loose, got caught up in the wheel, and somehow simultaneously caused my rear disc brake caliper to fail. Well, it’s a good excuse to stay another day in New Orleans, right?
