New Orleans, Day 1 of 3
Dory:
So, this blog talks about three days of adventure, and is split into three chapters: Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3. Day 1 starts now. The memory of the previous day is this, as far as I can remember: We went on a walk around the French Quarter with a woman called Robin, and I thought the tour was boring.
Photo by Stephanie. Robin, the guide, whose tour was not boring. She narrated the founding of New Orleans, and how the “gumbo” was made—how the mixture of all kinds of people came to be in this place. In the distance is St. Louis Cathedral, which Vivian references below.
I thought it was boring because it was a bunch of old stuff in like, 1888 and 1777. We rode a streetcar that was fun and interesting, and then the day ended without seeing our friend.
Vivian:
Hullo friends! (And fam!) sorry this post is a bit late, the last few days have either ended way too late or had too little Wi-Fi. I will do my best to describe what the previous days were like. On Tuesday it was our first day in New Orleans and we were excited to go on the walking tour our mom had booked for us. The tour guide was very nice and her name was Robin, I always thought that was a very pretty name. We went from the meeting place to the Mississippi River, to the immigrant monument,

around to a lot of big buildings, and finally to a catholic cathedral that was very ornate.
