 Letter "X" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup and Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures 

This Week's Prompts:  Has an "X"  Your choice.  Looks like "X.   

Has an "X":  "REXULTI" has an "X", it is a calming medicine.

My Choice:   REXULTI also keeps your elderly mother or grandmother from sleep walking. 

Looks like an "X":  Come out the door of this New Orleans cathedral, imagine you are at the upper left arm of the letter "X", and cross the street towards the lower right leg of the X to the sidewalk on the other side.  

You will be facing the Coffee and French donut shop called "Cafe du Monde".   Have some donuts, called there as Beignets.

BTW,  the word Beignets is pronounced "Ben Yays".  They go really good with coffee. 

I don't call them "donuts" because I don't eat donuts, not since 2013.  Neither do I classify Apple Fritters as donuts. 

. . . 

From a google search for "what are flat French donuts called in New Orleans?":.

      I Claim "Hotel California" 

          . . . 

Please play the song and tap your feet 

You'll find yourself at the Hotel 

Worked best for me driving my car 

I'm feeling  sorry for the guest

In a trap he didn't ask for 

When you need a mood play the song 

Put your feet in the singer's place 

Feel sorry for him in a trap 

Can check out but he can not leave 

Play it loud, shake your car mirrors

 - For this week, we were invited to "think of a piece of music which warms your heart whenever you happen to hear it played, and tell us what this particular piece has meant to you in your life. "

That was hard for me until I remembered all the times I've listened to "Hotel California" by The Eagles. 

You can listen to it here,
