Onward to Newfoundland!
After three days of eating, two-stepping, and wandering
through New Orleans, everyone is back aboard the goodship TSES VI and bound for
Newfoundland. New Orleans was all that
it promised – and more – from the delicious seafood, local delicacies, music,
to the history, we can safely say we did it all. The French Quarter with its modern influences
on timeless history and architecture was the local hotspot for most cadets,
while the more adventurous headed to the neighboring districts of Bywater,
Marigny, and the Garden District. Yours
truly made well on my 3-day streetcar pass and wandered from Frenchman Street
to Magazine, and everywhere in between!
The undisputed favorite? Café du
Monde’s beignets, and an iced café au lait!
Wasting no time getting back underway and into the
routine, we’ve restarted classes and had a little “outdoor time” during today’s
abandon ship drill. Of special note was
today’s Med Care Provider class, during which lucky Cadet Haas volunteered to
be the victim of a back injury demonstration, donned a lovely neck brace, and
reposed aboard a stretcher to demonstrate to the class how to properly care for
such a patient. Performance well done,
Mr. Haas; I’m sure your agent will be hearing from Hollywood soon.
Also, Michael McGuinn says “Hi Mom!”
Until next time,
Books
PS – Don’t worry if your cadet hasn’t written since New
Orleans; it looks like we may be experiencing technical difficulties with the
email server again… standby.
