At the southern most point of Louisiana, we stopped by a dying Cypress Forest. At the farthest point in the Mississippi, the salt water is seeping into the land, due to subsidence, which is causing the Cypress to die. We also noticed a lot of oil refin…
Our Saturday started the way all good Saturday’s start–with a six course meal. We arrived at the New Orleans School of Cooking early in the morning and walked to the local farmers market. On our walk, our guide and head chef Michael, told us about the importance of food and culture in any city’s history. We learned […]

Afterwards we helped with clearing out a plot of land from all of the vegetation that had overgrown. This was challenging because of […]
