First Impressions

Usually, when CtK's high school youth go off on a big trip, I send a spiral notebook with them, in which I've written a couple of questions for each day. Since the last thing our group needed was more stuff to pack in their carry-ons, this time around I'll pose a question or two here on the blog, and then the youth (and adults, too, if they want!) will answer them in the comments. And, even if you're not Ian, Kristin, Robert, Courtney, Julian or Minnie, if you want to pipe in, feel free!

Q#1 - What were your first impressions of New Orleans as you rode into town from the airport?

Q#2 - What were your first impressions when you got into the SuperDome tonight for the opening of the Gathering? What was great? What was surprising?

Q#3 - What are you most looking forward to for tomorrow?

  1. My first impression of New Orleans was the change. From being here the last time, which was three years ago, there has been a lot of change. The hussle and bussle of the city is crazy.
    We actually didn't get a chance to get to the superDome for the opening of the gathering. We had to much to do to get done.
    I think I'm most looking forward to is our Practice Peace Making day tomorrow.

    Thanks,

  2. My first impression of New Orleans was that it didn't look like it was in a hurricane 7 years ago. Driving into the french quarter, i thought that it looked exactly how i expected it to be. Disney's princess and the frog does a good interpretation, aside from the fact that that was based in the 50's and we are now in the 21st century. Anyways, like Robert said, we weren't able to go to the superdome tonight but that is definetly what i am looking forward to do tommorow morning

  3. Q1: It's very very different! It's hot, first of all, and humid. The architecture is gorgeous down here! I've been taking a lot of pictures. The culture and lifestyle (especially the way people drive!) is very different from Bozeman for sure.

    Q2: Again, we didn't make it to the Superdome tonight. Can't wait to see it tomorrow, it looked awesome from inside the shuttle!

    Q3: Apparently there's a photo scavenger hunt that we do with our group. I'm excited for that, it sounds like a blast.

    Talk to you tomorrow,

    Courtney
