After a brutal 5:30 AM trip to La Guardia Airport, and a 3 hour flight to Louisiana, the New Orleans expanded studies group arrived in a modest, comfortable hotel. We started our first day with a swim to start off the day, and after an hour, we returned to our rooms to dress appropriately for the hot, humid day ahead. Each car drove to downtown New Orleans where we ate lunch, and regrouped. We then went on an aquarium tour and to an IMAX documentary about Hurricane Katrina. Once this was over, we walked through the French Quarter for a few hours, always looking for a good, air-conditioned voodoo shop to stop in. We finished our first day with a seafood dinner at the renowned Ralph and Kacoos restaurant. It seems like Nawlins 2011 is going to be a great trip.
