We got to explore the French Quarter a bit, and I wish I had taken twice as many photos as I did. It has tons of ironwork all over, and it was so warm and sunny.
When we weren't spending time in the French Quarter, we were performing in an Episcopal church with some beautiful stained glass (I couldn't take any pictures of that, and the church below is NOT the same one, it was one right by Jackson Square), visiting Mardi Gras World (left is the White Rabbit), participating in a clinic at Loyola, and taking a swamp tour (we saw at least six alligators).
ALSO I keep seeing references to the things we're doing in English now; we watched Camp Rock on the way down to New Orleans (I actually saw more movies on the way there and back than I've seen in the past month) and at one point someone uses the witches' line, "Something wicked this way comes".

I follow her on tumblr because cleolinda is amazing and hilarious, and I saw this, and I think this might just be the version we're watching in class, because of the fan, and because the running figures are in the style of Japanese art. I do find it a little disappointing, if this is the one we're seeing, that the lead looks to be white - I was expecting the play to be fully changed to a Japanese setting, including a Japanese cast, but it looks like that's not the case.
