Impressions of New Orleans by Sharna Brzycki

Day 1, NOLA

New Orleans was not what I expected it to be when we arrived and traveled to various schools and city landmarks on our bus. It's funny because I had been to New Orleans three years before this trip for a very short period of time but something about our visit already seems different than my time spent here before. Perhaps it is all the sterotypes of New Orleans and the South that had been floating through my mind before departing, things we read about in various articles and saw in movies we watched in preparation for our departure that would be challened once we got here. But, something feels more real and down to earth now that we're here that I hadn't experienced when I visited before, nor did I think I would experience this time around.


I immediately felt welcomed by everyone we met during our first day out, and still continue to feel this in our meetings with new faces at every educational site we have seen. On our "Sinking City Tour," showing us the social and environmental divides of New Orleans and the surrounding areas, our tour guide, Monique Verdin, told us that this is the special thing about New Orleans.

Monique said that she feels more welcome and at home in this city than any other place she has lived or visited. This trait, something I can already sense through our first day here, is something truely unique and special about New Orleans.
