First Day at the Convention

Wow! It was a long day. Thank goodness for Delta. We were able to sail up out of the fog and on to Salt Lake without a problem. After a 3 hour layover, I was off to Denver. On the ride to the hotel I met an actress from L.A. who was a front runner for Hillary during the campaign and a Hillary Delegate from Los Vegas. They were both sad and wanting the caucus system changed, but will still vote Democrat because of all we will lose if McCain wins.
The Sheraton is a nice place and only a few blocks from the Convention Center. I walked through their pedestrian friendly plaza street to the Center and enjoyed a great welcome party. It was put on by the Convention Host Committee/ "Friends of New Orleans". We ate gumbo, shrimp, craw fish bread, red beans and rice. The open bar produced a lot of good political discussions and dancing. The music from New Orleans was great.
