A Little Bit of Sunshine (Outer Journey)

Today was started off with a trip down to breakfast. I had a fresh waffle with strawberries on top. It was so sweet and delicious. We walked down to the French Quarter. It was about a mile from the hotel. I had fun exploring the scenery to our destination. We went Jackson Square and waited on our tour guide, Milton. While waiting on him to arrive, I made a new friend named Patsy Klein. My friend was a mule, she was a sweet. She is intelligent and able to pet her. He was a sweet man who enjoyed his job.  He took us on a tour of Congo Square. It was beautiful, I loved going to the square. We then went to one of the cemeteries. It was surreal seeing all of tombs in the cemetery. There are so many lives and history placed into just one little block. They are all buried above ground. There were so many different tombs and we were able to see how some people were segregated even in death. After the tour we ordered a taxi to the hotel for my jacket and to take a small break. From the hotel, we walked to the pharmacy museum. I was ten times more comfortable when I had my jacket on. I tried macrons for the first time and they were great. I had a chocolate one and they have been something I wanted to try for a while. When we got done with the pharmacy we went and explored some art galleries. There were a few pieces that were neat. There were tones of pieces that reminded me of granite, but they were different. They had Mardi Gras masks connected to them also. When we were done with the galleries, we went down to the Frenchman street, it was fun to explore. Later we tried a couple of places and went to hotel to finish the night.
