Hi MCA ,from New Orleans.

We stayed all day in New Orleans. It was awsome. We went to the French Quarter. The French Quarter is very, very old. The streets are very narrow and the buildings all touch one another. Alot of the buildings have balconies on them. They were very old and had alot of fancy details.

We went to breakfast at a famous place called Cafe du Monde. They had the best donuts in the world. Except they were not really donuts. They were square pieces of dough that they literally threw into the frier. And then they covered them with tons of powered sugar. I had white powder from head to toe. They call the donuts- Beignets (ben-yays). They were super good.

Then we walked around town. You might think that sounds boring, but this is who we saw performing on the streets. The Prince of New Orleans- He was a magician, A country band, somes blues bands, a guy painted completely silver and dressed as a robot, acrobats that did awsome breakdancing, balloon artists, and painters.

Then we went to a store. We got Mardi Gras Masks, and alligator jerky. Then we went to the French Market. It is the oldest farmers market in the country. They had hundreds of booths that sold interesting things from all over the world. One booth had home-made whistles.

We had creole food for lunch, real fried alligator. It tasted like chicken.

We took a mule drawn carriage around the French Quarter. We learned alot of cool stuff.

Then we went to the Battle Field where the final battle of the war of 1812 was fought. It was something to look at. The Americans beat the British because the British forgot to bring ladders and mortars. We would have stayed longer, but the battlefield closed while we were still looking.

Then we went home. We are tired. But it was a great day.
