Retrospective

We have completed our trip and brought everyone home safe and sound. Repeated internet access problems made regular postings difficult so the blog still feels a little incomplete. However we had a great time and I will continue to post the many great student and teacher photos of sights of our great experience in this beautiful city. The postings that follow, batched by days, show the events of our trip out of chronological order. I have provided headings to show on which day our photographers captured each set of images in case anyone wants to restore the chronology. So far this blog is a work in progress and will continue to improve and to add images as I recieve them.

Sights on day two in NOLA

On our second day we concentrated on the Vieux Carre, soaking up the sight and sounds of jazz and the amazing and inexpensive food of the French quarter. Here's a short photo album of what we saw in this vibrant district.

Below is the view we enjoyed as we sat on the bank of the Mississippi devouring fresh hot beignets while we listened to the frenetic steam calliope on the steamboat in the foreground and watched the tankers and barges pass on the father of waters.


Our group approaches the remarkable St. Louis cathedral on Jackson Square, then after visiting this site and a preliminary orientaion to the French Quarter, we turned out students loose in small groups to experience the district.
