Day 1 Nature Walk of Nola 2023

Everyone shows great respect to Tom and pays close attention while he is sharing his knowledge with us. Tom is explaining how this leaf from the Quercus Virginiana (Southern Live Oak) is a prime example of a plant with entire leaves, compared to lobed or pinnate leaves. We are fortunate to have people who are so passionate about plants and teaching with us. Whenever an elder like Tom or John is speaking, the class knows it is time to listen closely.

AAAAAquarius in NOLA

After trudging through a thorough plant tour through the Woodlands Trail and Park, we rendezvoused at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. We were extremely privileged to see THE Deacon John and the Ivory’s. Although the music was electric and the spirit of jazz was in the air, there was no denying that our exhaustion was palpable. But alas, as the night dwindled into twilight, the music took a turn. What started as a jazz concerto developed into a rock and roll extravaganza! Oh what a night!

Going-going back-back to NOLA-NOLA

It has been SEVERAL years that I’ve been to the ‘Big Easy’ but it remains one of most memorable places that I’ve been to (and I’ve been lucky to see much of the United States country-side and urban areas). This upcoming trip holds very different expectations than my previous ventures into the city. I’ve only been for family trips so much of what we explored was done through the lens of tourists. I am eager to explore the opportunities offered by this trip: the community garden, the cooking course, the music clubs!

I know a lot of hard work awaits but I am certain that all of us will find the spirit and heart of NOLA to be within ourselves.
