From MS to LA…
Part 1:
Friday, June 1st was our last day in Bay St. Louis, MS. It was a great experience to learn so much from the Hancock County Community. I was not one of the students that conducted the last oral history of the day, but I was glad to be a part of our group. It was interesting to think that we had completed our first week of the course and that only one more week is left. Everyone in the group has a special place in my heart. We left Bay St. Louis Friday headed to New Orleans and on the way we reflected on some of the experiences we had in Bay St. Louis.
Part 2:
New Orleans, a wonderfully diverse city that has such an amazing culture and upbeat vibe to it. I was really excited to come to New Orleans on this social stratification course. I had an idea of what the city would be like but I didn’t really know much about the area. Our first night in New Orleans, I was able to explore parts of the French Quarters including Canal Street and Bourbon Street. It was definitely an interesting experience to go into a tatoo parlor for the first time:) New Orleans definitely has great night life and eating at one of the local restaurants, Oceana, I had some of the great cuisine that ths city is known for. Jazz clubs also add a lot the city because of the influence of many famous Jazz and Blues musicians from this area. This night was a great chance to explore and just absorb some of the greatness that is New Orleans.
