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.
Working hard in the woodlands
Getting our field methods down and battling blackberry thorns were our toughest objectives today.
Unusual instruments at the Cabildo
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.
Cooking Lessons: Nawlinz Style
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.
This band was amazing!
Truly inspiring performance, this little giant could sing like an angel and nearly brought me to tears during the ballads.
Reminder of what this great city has been through
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.
First night in town
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.
