That's All She Wrote

Well its time to leave. All things good must come to an end at some point, right? There was a lot to take in from this city. An experience I will never forget. 

My absolute favorite part of New Orleans in the French Quarter is Jackson Square. The eclectic styles of music and trades. The bright costumes that decorate the brick pathway. No worry in the world other than to enjoy the company of those around you and listen or watch the entertainment as you pass by. I will miss it. But I will never forget it.

I enjoyed this trip more than I thought I would ever be able to. The mystery, magic, music, food, and overall ambiance of the city was breath taking. Unimaginable. There is something about New Orleans that no one can compare to. It’s hard to explain the feeling I get when I think about being there. But it’s a good one. One that everyone needs to experience at some point in their lifetime.

The best part about the entire trip was that I was able to hang out with my good friends AND be able to gain class credit. All by enjoying  culture, music and life from an entirely different perspective. The people of New Orleans are those that live by the rules of the “Big Easy.” Take it easy, sit back, relax, and enjoy what pleasures you must. Death can take a turn at any moment.

I learned a lot about myself on this trip. Direction-ally challenged most times, the ease of the street car allowed me to maneuver myself across the city. I learned not to jump to conclusions. Not to be afraid of the unknown. Change is good. For the heart and the soul. Get on the train and don’t look back.  Your world may change forever.
