Experiencing the city

Over the weekend I took Dr. Hunt's advice. The weekend was finally here, but what to do? When one of my friends suggested the boot, I could see Dr. Hunt's pained face, and decided to take a stance and refuse to go. Instead my friends and I decided to see a different side of this historic city- a ghost tour in the french quarter, perfect! We made our way down to the quarter and meet our tour guide on St. Peter street. He took us around the quarter, pointing out some of the most "haunted" buildings in the city. The one that stood out the most to me was the La Laurie house. Here is a link so you can read the disturbing story for yourself. http://www.prairieghosts.com/lalaurie.html

The tour was kind of corny (as expected) but fun nonetheless. Our tour guide incorporated some important New Orleans history, making the tour very interesting. It was nice to walk around the city and become familiar with the street names. I have lived 1.5 hours away from this unique city for most of my life, and have taken that for granted. I enjoyed the experience, and plan to do something culturally exciting very soon.
