Coming through City Park and up over the bridge, I saw two little boys and two grown men wrestling with a turtle. Turns out the turtle got hooked in the boy&#8217;s fishing line and the men (French) were trying to get the hook out but everybody agreed the turtle (bites &#8211; morceaux).

He got a couple of pairs of pliers and got the hook out and I brought the turtle over to the bayou and set it free. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nice relaxing Sunday morning after spending the evening with my Turkish friends at their almost opened Del Forno &#8211; we ended up eating at The Bank on its penultimate night before Alex moves to New York forever.
