New Orleans

Hello again from New Orleans! Our time here seems to be flying by. We have enjoyed etouffee multiple nights in a row now (which we were introduced to by one of our very best friends) It is this amazing combo of crawfish, rice, and vegetables, in a yummy Cajun sauce. Honestly I was intimidated by the crawfish at first, but now I am hooked - you will have to try it! We also had the opportunity to see Hootie and the Blowfish the other night - they are so great live!

Today a group of us participated in a build for the Habitat for Humanity in the upper 9th Ward. I am still in awe of all the devastation that remains but more taken back by all of the people that are joining together to bring this community back on its feet.

The other highlight of the week was one of our all time favorite meals - at Acme Oyster House. We ordered the Charbroiled oysters that were amazing, so much so that we had to get a second round ;)

Aside from the many food highlights, we have truly enjoyed our New Orleans experience and look forward to making this an annual stop.
