Hi There,
My name is Liz Amason and I'm coming to New Orleans next week for a Shaklee convention. Look out, there will 8,000-10,000 of us on the streets looking like tourists!
I cruised blogger for folks that are in the New Orleans area for suggestions for a great and reasonably priced authentic meal near the convention center.
Thanks & God bless.
