The best thing I did this summer was going on a family vacation to the deep south. Though I have traveled to most corners of our country, I had never ventured quite so SE. The thing I love most about traveling is experiencing different cultures first hand which is why I generally enjoy exploring other countries rather than my own. But in this case I was not disappointed for it almost seemed to be a country onto itself, and to no surprise New Orleans was the most so. From Preservation Hall to the ornate ironwork, New Orleans is sure to be a place I will never forget.
