Sites I Saw in New Orleans: Day 1

On the first day of my New Orleans trip...

I saw and explored Jackson Square, 

Cafe Du Monde and had delicious coffee, 

I went to the French market and bought some cute stuff for friends that I can't post yet (they're surprises!) 

Visited the St. Louis Cathedral. It's absolutely gorgeous inside and out,

(I also had my fortune told, but I'll go into more detail in another post)

I explored the French Quarter and walked along the Mississippi River at sunset,

Went on a Haunted History Ghost Tour around the French Quarter, 

And ate very delicious food at Daisy Duke's. 

What a day! 





New Orleans Food: Day 1

THE FOOD HERE IS AMAZING

Cajun Catfish from Daisy Duke's diner was so good the first night. The biscuits alone were incredible. Don't forget the tartar sauce! 

The famous Cafe Du Monde serves Cafe Au Lait (shown above) and provides a great atmosphere, especially for the stereotypical writer. 


More catfish because it's just so good. 

College, Being a Freshman, and New Orleans

Oh hey there blog world! I haven't been blogging for quite some time and I feel so terrible about it. I've been so busy with college and being a freshman that I barely have time to blink let alone blog. But right now I'm in New Orleans for a journalism conference so life's good and I have a lot of free time. 

I don't know what I'm going to do tonight let alone tomorrow, and that's the most relieving thing ever. I've already done so much sight seeing and outs only been a day. And the food- oh good lord, the good is amazing. I'm going to do a whole food feature just on everything I've eaten so far. The big easy has been incredible, and it's only day 2.
