Mar. 14 - The Marathon Part B

Jessica is an architecture student at Georgia Tech and I really wanted her to see an incredible space in Sunset, LA called Melange Antiques. I'm not much for old furniture, but you've got to see this place to believe it. In addition to antiques, they have "architecturals," items that one could put in one's home given the right surroundings. My feeble words could not possibly match the reality of 10-foot doors from 18th century Africa. Maybe the website will help. (http://www.melangeantiques.com/european_arch.asp)

After wandering the store and warehouse for a while, our tummies demanded that we depart for food fulfillment. Cute restaurant in Opelousas called Back in Time was not open in time for us!! So we scurried to the corner Palace Cafe .... where Matthew and Anna were seated at the counter waiting for their lunch order. Jess & I were hungry for fried chicken, but it took so long to cook and be served (it was well worth the wait) that we shared life histories with our new friends and arranged to meet them at the Liberty Theater that evening.
