What I have found to be most interesting and enlightening about New Orleans so far is how differently people act here compared to how they are back home. For example, people can dress up in how wild people dress here, it normal from people to be dressed like that. I saw someone dressed as Pirate and it was so interesting to see how people reacted to them. At home I would seriously question why I saw someone walking down the street dressed as a pirate, but here it seemed to be completely normal. I wish we had more time to just sit and watch people on the streets, because they are so different and entertaining. I do not think I would want to live here all of the time just because some people are a little bit crazy and its nice to visit but the city is busy all the time and its a overwhelming. However, everyone that I have meet and known that lives here seems to be super nice and is very willing to tell you anything that you want to know about the French Quarter and New Orleans. Today, I also enjoyed learning about the cities history. There have been a couple stories, especially about different ghosts that have been told a few times now on different tours. Each time the story is told there seems to be a different twist to it, and I find it interesting to learn who believes what. According to my watch, we walked over 24,000 miles today, and I am very glad we ended up coming back to the hotel early to rest and go to bed at a decent hour.
