Uber Services, New Orleans

Well for those of you who use this service, forgive me for bragging rights with what I am going to say. We are new at this service.

This is the most wonderful, safe, clean and easy mode of travel ever. We used this two years ago through our son and found it to be great. So when we came here and after waiting a horrible amount of time in extreme heat, Don said ‘enough’. (well, maybe not exactly those words) He found out how to add the app for this service and we have thoroughly enjoyed safe, prompt and polite drivers for the past 4 days.

It is way too bad that Vancouver, B.C. Canada is so afraid of the taxi companies with their dirty cabs, mostly inarticulate and rude drivers that are on on the streets now and not allow the public, who have been wanting Uber to be on the streets, this service,

They can’t be that powerful or is it that the Government officials are afraid of losing the vote in the election if they were to say too bad, Uber is now allowed.

Clint and LaQwandra were two exceptional drivers for us. LaQwandra even brought Don his cellphone late last night, after it had fallen out of his pocket. When he realized he didn’t have it, he called his own cell number, she answered it and the connection was made. That is honesty at its best. And yes, she was rewarded.

Uber is the best mode of transportation and if handled properly through licensing, it is not a problem.

Oceana Restaurant, New Orleans

We were a bit slower this morning after such a busy day yesterday, but did manage to get back to  the French Quarter to the Oceana Restaurant for lunch. We were here a couple of years back with Kelly and Trevor, and had to try it again. We asked for the Courtyard, but it was under construction she said, although the tables were all set for meals.

We started with Crab cakes and they were the best we have had with a shrimp/mushroom gravy that was so good I thought one could bathe in it.

I ordered my favourite  Catfish Po’ Boy sandwich. This could have fed 4 people. We brought some home ‘just in case’. It was perfect.

Don ordered the restaurant ‘favourite’ meal of red fish with the same shrimp/mushroom gravy, along with garlic mashed potatoes and collard greens. He felt the fish was really dry and lacked seasoning.

All was not lost however, we ordered the Creme Brulee (what else?) and it had the best topping we have had. Perfect meal, (almost) now on to the rest of a perfect day.
