I never thought I'd would be able to visit, let alone stay for ten days, in New Orleans. On a map it seems not to long of a distance, only cross a couple of states and your there. From the long, tiring but actually enjoyable van ride, that is far from true. The most I heard about New Orleans is from the infamous hurricane that devastated thousand upon thousands of people lives and Mardi Gras, about how crazy and insane it can get. From there, my knowledge ends. When Bonner stated that freshman will have the opportunity to not only to go to New Orleans but to aid in restoring homes to their former glory and perhaps beyond that, I jumped at the chance. It not only gave me a chance to help out which is something always fantastic for me but allowed me to explore and see a city that I really have no idea what to expect. As each day of the break passed, I grew excited bit by bit because of the trip but realized to that next semester would start as soon as we came back,I enjoyed my bed even more. All I can say these vans are kind of comfortable after a certain point, I'm looking forwards towards exploring the french quarter, eating something called a Po-Boy and helping restoring a home that has seen better days and to make it better than what it was before for the homeowners! New Orleans here we come!
