New Orleans: Day Two

Let me take some time to recap our first full day of the Gathering. We spent our morning hours in the Learning Center, which was comprised of several smaller workshops, classes, movies, and hands on activities. There was even a New Orleans brass band there to entertain us on our way to the classrooms.


After the morning of learning, we ate together as a group at an authentic New Orleans restaurant, Mulates, which was located just across the street from the convention center and hotel. I am pretty sure someone ordered alligator!


After lunch and some relaxation time, we headed out for a tour of New Orleans. Our tour guide was wonderful, and new the city inside and out. He took us to several places in the lower ninth ward and introduced us to some harsh realities of Katrina.

I will post several pictures of our tour at a later time and recap the second half of day 1...

I am headed down to meet the group in the lobby!

Blessings!
