june+1-11

JUNE 1-11 BOSTON AND NEW ORLEANS I'm going to skip through my first couple of days of summer break. They were chaotic and upsetting while I was preparing to travel back home. I hate goodbyes, even if it's only for a short period of time.

Now the last thing I wanted to do Tuesday morning was wake up before noon but I had a flight to New Orleans to catch. After a layover in Washington D.C and what felt like all day, I was greeting my cousin at the airport to spend time with each other over the next couple of weeks.

In the next few days I learned a lot. I learned that Tulane University was much more appealing to me than Loyola. I learned that I HATE the zoo and the aquarium. Adding to that list I cannot stand art museums. They are completely uninteresting to me but the other museums I enjoyed. I learned I have a very strong interest towards the pharmaceutical business and history behind it after attending the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum. I also found the WW2 museum extremely interesting and would enjoy learning even more about it. The hurricane katrina museum was very emotional and made me want to help the people suffering from it.

As far as the actual city of New Orleans, I really enjoyed it besides the humidity. We did a tour of the cemeteries and garden district which was filled with amazing houses including the house featured in Benjamin Button and Sandra Bullocks house. Bourbon St. on a friday night was also a thrilling experience. I was repeatedly told while in New Orleans that it allows people to be in touch with insanity and get away with it. This was the truest statement I heard while there and I can not wait to visit again. The fun came to an end when I was awakened at 5am to catch a flight to Denver, Colorado.
