I love when unexpected things happen. Good unexpected things.
This evening we walked down to a local bar where friends were gathering for happy hour. Sorry I didn’t take photos inside. It’s a bar. You know. Lots of guys at the bar watching baseball, our group at a big table near the video games.
Love that at least one friend's bike is parked outside. Wonder who lives above the bar - someone who doesn't mind a party and likes to bbq, I imagine!
Then, as we’re hanging out with friends, a former student recognizes my husband, says hi, and lets us know that her taco truck will be parked outside, serving food in a little while. Cool! And while we’re buying tacos from her, another almost former student of mine, who now works at the school where I worked when I first moved here, as does the former student of my husband’s, also comes up to get a taco. How cool is that? It’s a small town, folks.

Another student turned teacher - and check out the awesome taco truck menu!
Apparently, Thursdays are Girl Power nights on the Taceaux Loceaux truck! Cool!
By the way, the tacos were awesome, and I’m still waiting for the G&Ts to wear off . . .
BBQ pork with peach salsa tacos - yum!
I am always amazed at how even in big cities you can still connect with people randomly, or spot the same person twice in a week just walking around.
And the peach salsa on the bbq tacos….yummy!
I agree – New Orleans definitely has that small town feel, and I love it!
That’s sweet! And the tacos look very yummy, too! Happy 4th!
Thanks! The tacos were delicious!
I once knew a guy who lived above a bar… it was wild.
Takes a certain kind of person to live in a place like that – and he was definitely that kind of person.
In our neighborhood there’s a house that’s sandwiched in between two bars – I always wonder who lives there – they have to love parties!
Great looking food and photos… loved the connection you made there.
It’s been a hectic week and I’m now catching up with everyone.
Happy July 4th weekend to you!

Thank you! Hope you enjoy all of your assorted trips too!
The photo of the tacos is making me hungry! Looks yummy!
They were – we’re going to have to hunt down that taco truck!
