A free day in New Orleans, Nov 4th

For our first official day in New Orleans, we were all pleased to know that we in fact had the day off.  For many people this meant the glorious-ness of sleeping in.  However, Julie and Michael told us about a famous catholic church two blocks away.  A group of 18 people decided to venture out in the morning (seeing as it was a Sunday) and experience the soul music of this religious establishment.

The inside of the church along with the choir.

Once church got out, we were greeted with a wonderful downpour that nobody had accounted for.  This led to a very soggy walk back to the hotel.  By the time we had reached the courtyard with the pool everybody was already soaked.  So what would it hurt to jump in, am I right?

Hannah, Lauren, Cormac, and Tim enjoy the rainy walk back to the hotel.

Everybody in!

After that, most retreated to their rooms in order to dry off.  Many of us did laundry down the block and did some independent sketches. Others walked down through the French Quarter and did some shopping.  A few people even got their fortunes read.  Overall a pretty quiet day, but we all need those sometimes.

This is Amy and Chris signing off.
