Inner Journey
Sunday was one of the more calm days. I felt at ease with the day, and as if I was getting a hang of navigating the city. Almost starting to feel like a local. We have covered a lot of territory and learned a lot of information in a small amount of time. So Sunday was perfect for going through two museums and be able to slow things down and take in the information at our own pace. I had lunch at one of my favorite places down here called Willes chicken shack, I am in love! Food has been a really big part of this trip, not over eating food but eating good foods and not just eating junk. I have tried many new foods which has been at times both scary and delicious, not to mention expensive. I wouldn't change a thing, It is all about the experiance.
Sunday gave me time to reflect and enjoy what was happening around me. For instance acknowledge the scenery and to form and appreciation for the art that this city is made up of. I also was able to enjoy the businesses and the hard working people that make up the population of New Orleans. The biggest thing Sunday taught me, was to be appreciative for my freedom and ability to belong to whatever religion I choose. I am so lucky to live in a state that is not at high risk for hurricanes. It would be so hard to rebuild and go through the pain and devastation that New Orleans did during Katrina, and their other disasters. Going through the museums yesterday made my heart hurt for the families that lost their homes, and the ones that lost their loved ones.
I ended Sunday with good food and even better company. We sat down for our first fancy dinner of the trip, at Nola. It was so unique and delicious. I tried bone marrow for the first time and loved it! The seasonings down here have bursts of flavor that I will defiantly miss when arriving back in Illinois. If you are ever in New Orleans make sure to check out Nola the restaurant.
