New Orleans Adventures

Our trip to New Orleans included several activities of interest. Dad, Stacy, Anthony, and I completed a Cemetary/Vodoo History Tour. On this tour, we were able to visit the home of a Voodoo priestess, who was able to deduce that Stacy played basketball, proving her powers to be quite astounding.
Dad, Stacy, Anthony, and I also went to the New Orleans zoo. It proved to be quite a challenge in finding a way to get there. We asked many workers and natives of New Orleans, who misguided us several times. They suggested a boat that did not exist, a streetcar that was not working, and buses that were only for those signed up for a combined tour of the zoo and aquarium, for which we were not signed up. Stacy likened there help to if someone came to our area and asked how to get to Keyser from Cumberland and us suggesting they go to ABL and ride a rocket named Eddie. Finally, we were able to successfully ride a bus to and from the zoo. A favorite sighting at the zoo was the Diana Monkey.

While at the zoo, there was a thunderstorm of great magnitude. At first, we attempted to take shelter under these huts; however, soon found them to be not enough and had to race for an ice cream stand. We were quite drenched before returning to our hotel.
