Today we toured the Jazz Museum, The Presbytere, and The Cabildo. The Presbytere had displays of the different Hurricanes that have impacted New Orleans as well as Mardi Gras information. The Cabildo had displays of The Battle of New Orleans as well as the history of the city including my personal favorite, nightlife. The Jazz Museum has displays of Louis Prima and Professor Longhair as well as remnants of the old U.S. Mint building. My personal experience that I loved was interacting with the interactive pieces of the Jazz Museum because it truly took you back in time with the card-board cut outs of the different Jazz Musicians. The videos and the recording studio that you could step into and listen to the music through gave you the sense that you were actually in a recording studio with Louis Prima. The other thing that I did today with a select few classmates was trying NOLA Poboys sandwiches for the first time ever. I decided not to get one that was spicy, so I got a grilled chicken sandwich with mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Originally I was not sure what to expect but inside the restaurant you could smell the delicious desserts they were baking and so I had high hopes that my lunch would be fantastic. I wish the sandwich had more sauce because I like it when bread has more sauce on it, I believe it makes it easier to eat. Overall, the experience was better than some of the more spicy food that I had on the cuisine tour earlier this week. I also liked walking with a bigger group for lunch because it made me feel overall more safe than simply walking with one other person. The experience that I dislike the most along this whole journey is how much my feet hurt at the end of the day. I especially look forward to when I can take my shoes and socks off at the hotel, but then my feet are smelly and I have to take a shower almost immediately after removing my socks. We all know what dirty and sweaty feet smell like, especially those that have traveled on long trips where you've had to walk a lot.
