Down in New Orleans
Hello Everyone!
I am reporting live from the field, at last! We arrived at the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area tonight and just had a late dinner at 9:30 p.m. You will hear more about the caterpillar work tomorrow, when we actually get into the field.
It was very exciting meeting the six other teachers from all over the U.S. We got to explore the French Quarter last night, and I rode my first street car. The French Quarter Festival is going on right now, so it is pretty lively everywhere you go--lots of great live jazz and zydeco. This morning several of us went on a tour of mansions (some owned by celebrities such as Anne Rice, John Goodman, Nicholas Cage, Archie Manning, etc) and a famous cemetary in the Garden District.
Here is a challenge for my students! Based on my photo and your knowledge of human biology and geography of New Orleans, can you explain why the graves are built this way and how they function?

We are so happy you finally got to meet the other teachers! We think it is really cool how you got to see all of those famous mansions and graves. Have fun!
Did you get to meet Nicholas Cage?
What did the mansions look like?
