Wandering Wednesday

We started off our day working at the job site, until around twelve. Then we got the opportunity to go to the French Quarter in New Orleans. We learned about the culture and way of life of the people of NOLA (New Orleans LousianA). The trip was a chance to nap and get lost..okay so we missed a few turns at first…But once we arrived, we split into separate groups and explored the French Quarter. For dinner, each group went to a local restaurant and embraced the good New Orleans cuisine…Crawdads, shrimp, Gumbo…and more.

This is the Saint Louis Cathedral on Decatur Street

in the French Quarter

There were many local artists around Jackson square and great galleries in the French Quarter. The cross above was found at a local gallery - it represents the type of expressive art that the New Orleans people tend to create. This cross is made out of scrap tools.  Everyone had a great afternoon in NOLA and made a few purchases, enjoyed the local culture, and ate of the diversity of foods available.

One member of our work “crew” that is hard to get a glimpse of is Kyle…above Mr. Mark happened to catch a glimpse of Kyle taking a picture of Meagan and Colin by the Mississippi River.  Good night…signed some wandering yutes
