On the first night in New Orleans I learned about "Touchdown Jesus". I am honesty surprised that I have really enjoyed learning about the history behind statues. Normally, I tend to forget shorty after visiting them by "Touchdown Jesus" just is not something you can forget. I mentioned in a previous blog that I was worried about rooming with people that I haven't know for a long time, but it's been really fun getting to know them. We even all matched wearing maroon when we changed at our hotel after finally being able to get off the train. Tonight my favorite thing that we did was were we at. Original Pierre Maspero's was better than I expected. I did not get to adventurous with what I tried considering that I just got veggie pasta. However, it was delicious and a lot better than Olive Garden at home. I really hope I do end up getting outside of my comfort zone at least a little bit foodwise. I have to be honest New Orleans at first is overwhelming, just because it is different from back home, and learning to navigate from place to place was also confusing at first (thanks goodness for GPS). Being out in the dark is also quiet interesting just because some people look and behave differently to say the least, so I hope to get back to the hotel before it gets too late the rest of the trip. Overall, I think that over the course of the next few days we will learn, and experience many new and exciting things.
