Goodbye New Orleans Inner Journey

My favorite part of the class was getting to experience with blogging my experiences. I really enjoy being able to express my daily adventures, thoughts and feelings. I liked getting the practice in writing better and using more descriptive words. I enjoyed being able to share my blog with my friends and family and them getting to follow along with that I was doing and viewing my perspectives on everything. Blogging was my favorite because I got to express my thoughts and It is a great remembrance I can keep of my experience of the city. My favorite part of the trip was getting to try new cultural foods and expanding my taste buds. I was thoroughly surprised at how delicious the foods were. I was kind of concerned about trying some of the foods such as oysters, alligator, and turtle soup. I ended up liking the flavors of most of the foods. I realize it is more of a mind thing for me not eating these foods before, rather than the actual flavors of the food. I learned that I very much enjoy real people’s art and getting to explore a new area. I loved learning about the history of Pharmaceuticals in the 19th century. I learned that the people of New Orleans are very open, loud, and expressive. There is so much personal expression and music everywhere. There is also a lot of homeless people on the streets, which I am not personally used to seeing very much because I grew up and live in a small town. I learned that I am horrible with directions, especially in a new place. It took me until about the last day to really learn the roads and which way was back to the hotel. I learned that I am not good at traveling far. I definitely have a hard time getting adjusted to a new scenery and the whole traveling on a train as well.
