Lagniappe 7 (student 3, Chantal)

A third student shares her thoughts, memories and photos:

We have just come back from Louisiana, and we are still dreaming about all the marvelous things we were lucky to see. First, New Orleans, with its jazz at the corner of every street, its houses, its creole cooking. 

Then, the bayous, with their surprising trees and their Spanish moss ("mousse espagnole"), the Acadian villages, and much more...

But I think I will always remember our Cajun cousins' welcome.  We had a little private concert in their house!  

And also, the dancing, one evening, in a " fais-dodo", where the music had such a lively beat that we couldn't stay seated in our chairs!

Thank you Joëlle from Arts et Vie for all you did to have things go so smoothly and for all the additional photocopies you gave us, in French this time, to check how much we remembered from the blog.

Thanks so much to our cheerful and dynamic teacher for her fantastic blog which prepared our trip, and also her precious presence during these ten days.

Chantal
