Hey Y'all,
I am back in Ithaca now preparing myself for my last semester as a college student. It is a scary thought but I am hopeful about what the new year will bring. Nothing can be worse than last semester.

Three Nights in Nola: Jazz and Beignets

Our first day in New Orleans was  a complete success. Minus the humidity and heavy rain, I was in love with the Crescent City. Our second day was jammed pack with activities, I am shocked that I managed to keep up. It was a Sunday, out of all the days we were there it was the sunniest day. We started the day off at Cafe du Monde. Where we got to try the famous Beignets. The line was ridiculously long, but the wait was not long at all. Beignets tasted like funnel cake, it was delicious but I could only stomach two of them.
