Visiting New Orleans
The Deep South doesn’t get deeper than New Orleans, a slow-paced city on the Gulf of Mexico soothed by the sultry sounds of soul and jazz musicians playing the sax on Frenchmen Street. The freedom and beauty it finds in this expressive music was born from the oppression African Americans faced from slavery. However, New Orleans was one of the first cities to see the slaves of its sugar plantations revolt, almost 60 years before slavery was even abolished. Today, the refined 19th century buildings of The French Quarter are brilliantly contrasted by the colourful Creole architecture that stands proudly alongside them. To get a true taste of the city though, all you have to do is stop by a local New Orleans restaurant and slurp on a hearty bowl of gumbo.
