Today we went on a tour of the St. Louis Cemetery no. 1. I love seeing little pieces of history still living today, so this experience was really cool to me. I thought it was awesome that our tour guide was actually a cousin to the tour guide we had during our ghost tour. I also felt that both tour guides were knowledgeable and interesting - they definitely kept my attention.
I enjoyed the cuisine tour even though I did not enjoy most of the food. I'm definitely not adventurous when it comes to trying new foods, especially sea foods. Either way, our guide was a lot of fun and she taught us a lot about creole cuisine. I also really enjoyed visiting the Germaine Wells Mardi Gras Museum and seeing all of her elaborate dresses. I found it amazing that each one of those dresses were handmade and was in awe at the cost of them.
I think the thing I enjoyed the most today was simply seeing everyone. I enjoy going to music festivals because 1) I really enjoy music and 2) I really enjoy seeing people be themselves without a care in the world. Nobody is judging anybody or making anyone feel poorly about their choices. I get that vibe walking around in the French Quarter. There are so many different types of people and it just works. I LOVE IT! I get a little bit anxious with the amount of people around me, but it makes my heart happy that people can just be who they are. I think that if I learned anything about myself today, it was just confirming that fact that Chillicothe, IL is not where I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life. I love diversity. I love hearing all of the different accents and languages. I love New Orleans.
