Farewell NOLA! See you soon.

  • There are many places I enjoyed visiting. Today, we returned to our favorite place to eat called "La Davina." I will definitely miss eating delicious rootbeer gelato. This restaurant allowed me to see the type of cuisine Italian people eat while enjoying it. I have already made plans to come back this summer to enjoy the city with my fiancĂ©  and teach him everything I have learned since being in New Orleans. He has yet to see what all Louisiana has to offer. After falling in love with the French Quarter and all of the sites in New Orleans, I would easily recommend this trip for others to experience. I thoroughly felt like a part of me was left in New Orleans in order to return. Many would be amazed by the amount of freedom the citizens of NOLA have and their care free attitudes towards their everyday lives. It was delightful to watch the mini concerts and side shows in front of the Cathedral. Describing NOLA in only a few words would be very difficult, but the easiest way to describe it would be that it is wonderfully historic, lovely to visit, and eventful no matter what you're doing. I learned many things about myself throughout the trip. I learned that I have this drive to travel and see the world. The thought of traveling far from home used to frighten me, this trip has opened up the possibility of future adventures. I learned so much during the trip and can't wait to return home to tell my family about my experience. My favorite part of the class was blogging on my phone as we visited sites and landmarks. I felt like a real explorer being able to snap photos and share them with other members of the class.  My favorite part of the trip was the ghost tour by far. This was my favorite, because I love to hear about hauntings and the stories behind them. I have a strong belief in what is not seen by everyone. It's is interesting to learn about what is lingering in the shadows as you walk the streets of New Orleans.  By participating in all of the tours, I have learned a lot about the people of New Orleans. The people here are care free and the city allows them to be. I said many times throughout the trip how amazingly free the citizens of NOLA live their lives.

(One scoop of Rootbeer Gelato Please!)
Rootbeer gelato was one of the samples I tried during the cuisine tour. I decided to come back for seconds!
