Overall, I have enjoyed this trip and would go back to New Orleans again someday. My favorite part of the trip was when Sommer and I went to airboat adventures. A bus picked up from our hotel took us to Jean Lafitte. The tour guide was so nice and made sure to explain where exactly we were and included more facts about alligators. We were about 28 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. I thought that this was interesting to learn, because I did not realize just how close we were to the gulf. I mostly wanted to go on the airboat because I wanted to see an alligator, so I was very excited to learn that our tour guide had caught a tiny one two weeks before and brought it for us to hold. My favorite part of the class has been doing this travel guide because its nice to look back and reflect on the day. I have to be honest somedays were so busy, I struggles to keep with blogging. Everyone that I met in New Orleans was very nice, and some even were willing to share what happened to them during Katrina with Sommer and I. I thought it was nice for them to be so willing to open up to us about what happened, and how they were affected. Something that I learned about myself is that I can be adventurous and try new things. On the food tour, I ended up trying shrimp and turtle, which made me get out of my comfort zone food wise. This trip was amazing and I am glad I decided to come so that I could experience a city that is very different from back home.
