When the train first arrived in New Orleans the sky was gray and rain pourred down. Thankfully, the rain it not last all night and we did not have to walk in the cold rain for long. On our first full day of the trip, we went out to dinner together as a group. We went to a historic restaurant called Orginial Pierre Maspero's. Walking into the building, I felt like I was taken back in time. The building is one of the oldest in the French Quarter. The smell of seafood lingered in the air while we waited for our food. I ended up ordering the veggie fettuccine, and it came out looking amazing. The sauce looked so creamy on my plate, and I was already very hungry so it did not take long for the food to disappear. Something else that we did on our first night in New Orleans is that we went on a haunted tour. My arms filled with goosebumps as our tour guide told all the different ghost stories. Along the way I noticed a good amount of homeless people, and the city is much dirtier than I was expecting. The trees here look different from the ones back home in Illinois, and there are more people that look and act differently too. The sky was bright blue today, and every once in a while a cloud would provide us with some shade. It also was very windy, which made the air feel colder than it actually was. My feet ache because of how much we walked today, but it was an overall amazing day.
