Rhyshia and Dad

The first student to get picked up from airport.

We all return safe and sound to campus right on time.

Now The New South classroom portion of the trip will begin next week.

As U. S. Congressman John Lewis has said, "We must know our history as a nation and a people. We must study it and visit it's birthplaces- in essence we must live history in order to understand and appreciate it. For better or worse, our past is what brought us here, and it will help lead us to where we need to go."

We Leave New Orleans

I force them into the streets for one last group photo before we get back to the real world.

Students say it was an enriching experience. I'll save the superlatives for them. I know I had a phenomenal time.

Grand Finale

We scrimp on a couple of meals so we can celebrate our last night in grand style at Brennans. Since Bananas Foster is the only dish listed for New Orleans in the book, 1,000 Foods You Must Eat Before You Diet, we've got to experience this flaming dessert. We have our own dining room and our own show. The flames, as you can see, are quite impressive! What a great way to cap off a remarkable experience.
