Journal Entry #10 Hanging Out

Halloween in New Orleans is a crazy time. I saw many many costumes and some really creative

ones. I saw Mario, Luigi, and Wario! I saw a bunch of Oompa Loompas, a lot of rock stars and Sarah Pallin kept showing up in the weirdest places. The best part was riding the trolley car to the festivies with all of these people in costume on board. I think I have also officially become a fan of jazz bands! I can't wait to share some music with you when I get back.

I was a CH.. CH... Chia Pet. It was such an easy costume to put together. I was dressed in all green and then found some baby fish grass ( this is something you would get at pet store) and attached it to a hat and I was set.( I promise I will upload a picture of my costume when I can unload it off one of the team members' cameras)

We had one day off today and I spent it at the zoo all day. I was lucky they had a huge swamp festival going on with some music and some cajun food. Although they were selling alligator sausage I chickened out. Though alligator is so popular here that there is actually a hunting season for alligator. I thought I would share with you some pictures from the day.
