New Orleans Part Uno
The next couple of entries of my blog will probably be about the trip. I will try and be as detailed as possible (key word TRY) with much pictures because that's always the best part. The pictures shown here were mostly taken with Adam's cool and brand new digital camera.
We left late Friday night and drove to Covington, Louisiana. Adam drove most of the way, yea, he was the bomb. The rest of us tried to sleep as much as possible. I know for Josue and me though, it wasn't too successful. On the flipside of it, it was equally hard staying awake, especially when it was Josue's turn to drive and I sat in front of the van with him. I don't think we'll ever do this again. =) Zach drove the last leg of the trip while Josue and Adam sat at the back and played FIFA on the Playstation which was hooked up to the TV in the van. Good thing Josue brought it along. That machine really pulled us through most of the time to and fro, well, at least for the guys, otherwise they would have been bored out of their minds. When we finally arrived in Covington, we were greeted by Jeremy's parents, Ted and Nancy, who had just woken up. They made us a lovely breakfast of eggs, biscuits, bacon and hashbrowns. After breakfast, we had time to just hang out and do whatever at home. I took a nice hot shower and went to bed for about 2 hours. I was completely knocked out in my sleep, just clueless about my surroundings. I know I was exhausted!
At about noon, Kristy and Laura arrived from Memphis. It was nice to meet up with them again. All of us then drove about an hour down south to New Orleans to pick up Jeremy from the airport. After which we decided to park downtown and just spent our afternoon doing the typical tourist sightseeing there. Here were a few things we did: watched one the performances of the DragonMaster Showtime, enjoyed beignet at Cafe Du Monde, walked along the Missisippi River, and visited St Louis Cathedral (which was absolutely beautiful and serene), among other things. We ended our time out by having dinner at Jeremy's favorite Chinese restaurant in town. And by his recommendation, a few of us ordered the very famous shrimp fried rice, which was actually not bad at all. Thanks for the tip, Jeremy!
