Monday (by Ella)

Today was our first full day in the city of New Orleans. We started off with breakfast and departed from the hotel at nine as we walked along the river through the city. With all the sightseeing, we stopped for beignets at Cafe Du Monde. Afterwards we spent some time walking the shops and soaking in the city life.

At two we met up at the hotel to split to either go to the World War II Museum or the Audubon Aquarium. Having spent lots of time outside, we then ventured off further into the city to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and a show.

Today we woke up and had a quick breakfast, and then we headed to the trolley. We took a beautiful ride on the trolley to the cemetery. Our tour through out the cemetery was very interesting. Then we took a quick break at a local coffee shop to rest in the AC and get some fuel. We took the bus and walked back to the hotel and had plenty of free time, which was spent in the mall, at the pool and lots of siestas. We then headed to Champions Square for food, then walked across the street to Smoothie King Arena for our first mass gathering, which was a new and exciting experience! Then we walked back to the hotel for community life or headed off to bed.
