Second day in the field
We spent a long day in the Woodlands Conservancy continuing to survey vegetation transects. Lauren and Kelsey from my group discovered a plant species that hadn’t been found in the conservancy before.

Getting our field methods down and battling blackberry thorns were our toughest objectives today.
The Cabildo Museum was full of New Orleans history, including some musical ways to save space. This upright grand piano took up less horizontal space but took no tax on the tone of this grand instrument.
The New Orleans School of Cooking gave the group a valuable experience and some unforgettable cooking lessons. I’ve never been so proud of a home-cooked meal.
Truly inspiring performance, this little giant could sing like an angel and nearly brought me to tears during the ballads.
This spray painted symbol left from the search and rescue days following Hurricane Katrina made me take a moment of silence to gather my thoughts and pay my respects to all who suffered during the disaster. Hearing the talks from Professor Steve Nelson helped me truly understand what had gone wrong with the levees and what might possibly be done for the future with better foresight and engineering.
The music was phenomenal to say the least. The Dana Abbot Band blew my mind with their outstanding musicianship and blues that reached down and grabbed your soul.
