NOLA

My trip to Nola, the short way to say New Orleans, Louisiana, was the weirdest and the most incredible weekend trip I have ever done in my life. We organized this trip two weeks before. I just only knew that New Orleans was the city of the jazz and blues and I didn't know what to expect or what to do in this city, but I decided to go because I liked the idea of traveling by car with friends and share a weekend with them.

Our trip started with many problems: we arrived the airport without one of the members, guess who? Yes, David! But he was lucky because we had another problem, the car rental in which we rented the car didn't want to rent us.

But when we rented other car and David came on the dot, the problems ended and the trip began, almost ten hours sharing stories with Marco, Danila, David and Valentin. There was another car following us: Pipo, Rocio, Pancho, Santiago and Carla. Even we were traveling 10 hours, it was great, very fun and let us know to each other. It is the first time that the people in the car don't want to sleep, we were talking during all the trip, discussing different things, telling about our life and playing different games. For this reason the trip wasn't boring.

Now, lets talk about New Orleans:

The hostel: It was my first experience in a place like this. At the beginning everything was weird: the place, to share the room with people that I didn't know, to share the kitchen, the fridge, etc. But after few minutes I started to love this place, people in that hostel were very confident and friendly, and I didn't have any kind of problem there.

The city: Amazing is the best word to describe it, you walk one block and you will hear at least two street artist playing music. Is a city full of music, each artist, bar, and person in New Orleans makes it a magical city. Also, this city is full of history, the french style buildings shows that New Orleans was a French colony, and the witches, voodoos and hunted houses represent some practices of the African slaves that European didn't understand.

The food: shrimps, oysters, alligator and other types of meals that I always wanted to taste, everything was tasteful but expensive, 

Bourbon street.

The party: We went out two nights, the first night we went to a street called Frenchman street. This street is full of jazz and blues bars, many bars are free but the bands ask you for tips. It is a calm place to share with friends and enjoy the most popular music in New Orleans. The second night we went to the famous Bourbon street: It's crazy, almost ten blocks of bars and night clubs of any type full of people drunk and happy. This place is probably the weirdest place I have ever visited, in the street you can see people doing crazy things that I don't want to talk about. You will understand me only if you go to Bourbon street, and I recommend you to go!!

Before finish this post I wanna say thanks you to the people that traveled with me to New Orleans, it was a great trip and I really enjoyed to share it with you!!!
