Sunday Sunburn

Waking up Sunday morning, I forgot that I was in New Orleans until I looked at my room, I had fallen asleep so hard the night before. That morning we all ate breakfast at the dining room table, and I enjoyed laughing with my classmates and talking about the night before. We also talked about the Islenos Fesitval that was going on later that day. I was more than excited to go because the weather was so nice, and we had a large group go.

Upon arrival at the festival, it was very different than I had expected. I expected to see more latin vibes to it, but it was still very awesome. I tried an alligator sausage and tres leches cake, which were both very good. After that, we walked around and were asked to join a group in a traditional friendship dance, and I could not refuse because I love to dance. So off we went to do a friendship dance, and it was kind of weird, but at least I tried! We walked to the front and a band was playing some really good music, so Nikki, Lauriane, Nick, and I all went and danced. It was a really good time. After that, we went on a tour with the head of the organization and learned about the Islanders that were there forever ago. After the tour, we headed home.

On the way home, we stopped and got Snowballs, which were my version of a glorified sno-cone, I got a strawberry cheesecake flavored one. It was pretty good. We drove through the ninth ward, which was one of the areas that was hit the hardest by Hurricane Katrina, and we saw the houses that Brad Pitt had built there. I honestly do not think they fit in with the area, and should have probably been rethought about how they looked.

When we got home, my roommate, Nikki, noticed I was burnt pretty bad. I got myself some sunday sunburn.
