Hey Y'all From Bay St Louis

Today we woke up at 5:30 a.m. and made our way to New Orleans; 6 hour bus
drive! Yahoo! We arrived at the French Quarter at around 2. Once we made our
way to Jackson Square, we dispersed into our respective groups and just went
off to have fun. Some went shopping, some ate, and some watched the various
street performances. We all now had the chance to sit down at an actual
restaurant; a nice change from greasy fast food. We in particular, went to a
typical Southern cafe, and quite enjoyed ourselves. We got to experience
eating ALLIGATOR. It tastes like chicken. Literally. Personally I thought it
tasted exactly like squid but whatever (I am not gonna argue with the girls).
Apart from the food, it was nice to experience the southern culture, such as
the funny accents, friendly people, and a certain dude with a massive afro
wig(and I mean MASSIVE -- Parker's got nothin on this guy). It was a fun
time for everyone, and we are looking forward to our swamp tour tomorrow.

Sincerely,
David Wiebe - with Brittany Olsen and Caitlyn Hegedus
