Light sweater weather...

Saturday was a beautiful day to tour. There was just a little wind, the sun was warm and the city was full of tourists. The day started on a humble note as we visited the convent and the church learning about the history of the buildings and the religion. I was born and raised Baptist, so it was a little confusing to me to be fed all of that information and not really understand the religion and their specific beliefs very well. I found so much joy and relaxation while just walking around the city, and enjoying the beautiful weather. The class walked to the French market. I love craft shows, vendors, and food all of which the French market had to offer. We had only about an hour to check it out and eat. So all though I saw a few things that caught my eye, I will be needing to go back to do some shopping.

Tour of the Ursuline Convent

Saturday was such a great day, A little more laid back than the last 2 days, but busy enough where I wasn't bored. The day continued on and it was time for our final tour of the day, the food tour. I had the best experiance with this. The tour guide, the food, that chefs, the restaurants all were tremendous! I loved tasting the city. All of the different flavors, and spices. The most rare part of the tour was learning the history behind the seasonings and how different New Orleans cuisine is from Illinois. I tired a number if new foods which I would more than likely never try at home, but when in New Orleans you try new things in order to experiance the city correctly.

Saturday night a few girls and I headed out on the town. We visited a few local club and listened to some of the best jazz I have heard. It made me feel happy and I wanted to dance. Very intergenic music, and you could tell other listeners felt the same. It was getting late so we grabbed an Uber, and headed back to the hotel, except I typed in the wrong address, so we detoured and while detouring we saw the super dome while it was lite up at night. The super dome was amazing and a site I was happy I was able to see. Made it back to the hotel, and slept like a baby. Saturday was great day. This trip is flying by, but the experiance I will be able to talk about are ones I will never forget.
