What this chapter holds

Of those places, 0 were on the sourced guide, 7 on the self-made list, and 6 on neither. “On the self-made list” is an upper bound and “found” a floor — saves cannot be dated.

What it was about

Neither method. The interlude sits between the two trips and had no guide at the time — it ran on a saved list alone. Interest counts are New Orleans's own — one city, so this is its record rather than a chapter aggregate.

Ranked by direction requests — the only measure of emphasis the export carries, and truncated to roughly the top ten per city, so this is where the days went most, not everywhere. Provenance is matched after the fact, not recorded at the time: the export has no per-item save timestamps and the lists were edited during the trips, so a place saved while standing in it cannot be told from one saved before leaving. “On my own list” is therefore an upper bound, and “found there” a floor.
