Social Stratification in the Deep South

First Day in New Orleans

A day in the historic city of New Orleans. Today was my first time ever in the city of New Orleans and even though it’s been about two years since hurricane Katrina, the city of New Orleans night life is the same as you see it on television. After walking the strip of bourbon street and seeing the band playing and all the people walking around with beads on their necks, it seems as if nothing ever happen to this place. But as we rode through the town of New Orleans and seen other places, it all came back to light that this place went through a lot after hurricane Katrina hit. Looking out from the outside and just watching the news, we would think that this devastating thing happen during the hurricane, but hearing from the people here they fill like it was more a government thing. The people in New Orleans feel like if the government would have build the levies better than this beautiful city of New Orleans would have never experience such a disaster. To me this place is still live and beautiful, just listening to the band in the streets made me think of home. I really enjoyed my first day in New Orleans.
