MAINE IN THE SUMMER TIME


Mid-Coast Maine in the summer time.  What a wonderful place:  beautiful views, cool temperatures, lobster buoys dotting the bay like easter eggs.  Truly a fantastic vacation.  Henry David Thoreau said it best concerning Maine -- "There  certainly men would live forever, and laugh at death and the grave."  -- The Maine Woods.

The Bombay Club -- A British Oasis in a Francophile World



Tucked away in the Prince Conti Hotel in the heart of the French Quarter you will find a wonderful little restaurant and bar called The Bombay Club.  Dark-wood paneling and luxurious leather fill the room.  Pictures of Churchill and other British iconography abound.  The feel of an old world British Colonial outpost permeates the atmosphere.  The ambiance is punctuated by the lofty sounds of a piano singer playing classic Americana. 

So if you find yourself in need of being wrapped in civilization after over exposure to the French and Spanish cultural history of the Quarter, step into The Bombay Club for a little refresher on civilization.
