Today we went through a lot of the city. We went a haunted history tour, the Presbytere, and the Cabildo. The Presbytere was a beautiful building full of hurricane Katrina and Mardi Gras history. The outfits were very beautiful and colorful. It had a history of the outfits, floats, and the crowns. It showed how they entertained the crowds. The Katrina half was very powerful. The museum had many videos of what happened and then the aftermath. The video in the museum with a dog drowning made me super depressed. One exhibit showed what the hospital staff did during the hurricane because this is when people started to loot the hospitals for drugs and supplies. The Cabildo had the New Orleans history museum half. I liked most of the museum, but the third floor. The third floor showed the evolution of the maps of the area and the line of the parishes. The first floor had a small history of everything from history to food. It was super cool to see the evolution of the musical instruments.
The second floor showed a larger history of the city.
It had more of the wars and building history of the city. When walking around the city we walked into this band and they are really awesome. They were chilling in front of the Presbytere and they were there every day this week. We walked along the riverfront to go to the hotel. The weather today was so amazing. The last thing we did was the haunted ghost tour. We walked through the city for this. The sun started to set and it started to get cold. I loved the haunted tour. It gave me an idea for what I may do when I come here again in the future.
