We hopped on the StreetCar and went to an art Museem in the Warehouse District (<-- make sure you know what this is if you plan on living in New Orleans.) After getting off the street car, we headed straight for the museem, which was very close with respect to where we got off. We saw some beautiful pieces of art. One thing, and I honestly mean this, that I learned is that a story told through simplicity is perhaps the most beautiful, unforgettable masterpiece. I saw one picture of a simple, primitive piece. It was a picture of a Church and different members. It was so simple, but the message it gave was 'lasting.' I don't think I'll ever forget that photo and the various meanings it carried.
Below are some photos that I took.
After this, we headed down to Exxon Station to get this drink that the company 'Arizona' produces. After we left, we took a look at the Robert E. Lee statue. As we were inquiring and contemplating the reasons that the South would have a statue of loser (instead of the victor), we were welcomed by "The Big D" (a.k.a. 'Big Dog'). He insisted that we were tourists from England after having noticed that we were observing the culture of the city. We hopped on the streetcar, and headed back for campus. On our way their, we had to switch StreetCars (at the same spot which we had confusion with the previous time.)
Anyhow, it was a successful day and I hope we can go again soon.
