New Orleans!! // PART THREE
Sunday, December 21, 2008

The last day, was spent on two more tours. First, we woke up early in the morning to go to a cemetery tour at 10am in the morning. The tour went well and our tour guide was very informative. It was kind of cool how much history can be told from such a small cemetery.

After that, we did a swamp tour-- I should mention that it was VERY cold that day as opposed to the warm weather we've had all weekend. Cold for California residents, anyways. I was freezing at the swamp tour, but it was so neat to see the wet lands of New Orleans. Our tour guide even had snapping turtles in captivity and was pulling them out of their giant buckets without fear. Even though those things can bite of a human arm very easily. We even got to pet a baby alligator! Here's a couple of snap turtles and alligator videos:






Also, I found out that alligators' favorite snacks are marshmallows!
