The court of Two Sisters...and the rat

Last night,Vincent and I decided to have dinner at a lovely restaurant in the French Quarter,called The Court of Two Sisters.It is a rather posh restaurant,but we needed to do research for our future guests....(well, that has been our excuse for the past dinners!)

We first have a couple of lovely cocktails at the bar,and then we proceeded to the dining room for dinner.As we are eating our appetizers,I see a rather large rat scurrying along the floor.I tell Vincent,and then the other diners see the poor animal,and mayhem begins.All the ladies jump on top of their chairs,screaming "rat...rat!..." and right at this moment,the elegant hostess walks in with another group of diners to be seated,and the waiters are running after the poor rat,trying to make it go outside....A sight to be seen!

After the rat decided that he had had enough of the screaming ladies,he left the dining room,and dinner could resume.

What I love about this city,is that the only diners who left the restaurant,were 2 tourists.The rest of the guests (including us) were locals,and the entire episode (well,except for us ladies not wanting to be touched by the rat,hence the jumping on the chairs) regained our composure,and dinner resumed as if nothing happened.

Love this city!
