Enroute to New Orleans, Jan 1-1926 Friday Stopped at Lexington Pa., and had breakfast before one got to Salisbury N.C. The day is bright but the temperature is deliriously freezing. Fine service in the Southern dinner. By four in the evening we are in Atlanta, Ga. Travel southward is not yet decided, but the card men are on the train and the public is warned of them by Pullman. New Orleans, La., Jan 2, 1926. Saturday. Got here early this morning and on time, 7:20. Then transferred to S.P.R.R., checked my baggage and then saw again the quaint, but dirty and sadly in need of repair town. At 10:30 I went off in a St. Charles out-of-met-ered car to see the city, and as I have never seen it before. We went about five miles S.W. on St. Charles street and came to the river levee, then to Lake Pontchartrain and back to the city via The Creole quarters, the descendants of the White French and Spanish. Got back at me hotel. Then bought three histories and read a little in them at the Hotel Montellone in Royal and Sherille st.
