NEW ORLEANS

We just back from "New Orleans" and the "Sugar Bowl"!!! It was an amazing experiance going to both! The game was amazing and so much fun! The Alabama fans were really nice before and after the game; which we didnt expect. Some of them were pretty cocky thinking that the Utes didn't have a chance or saying "where is utah?" Or "whats a ute"... One thing is for sure! they know who the Utah Utes are NOW!!!

The night before the game was crazy! We went to the famous"Bourbon Street" where the streets were lined with U of U and Alabama fans. One side of the street was U of U and the other Alabama. The fans would stand on the balconies yelling back and forth at each other and toss mardi gras beads at people on the street. It was a blast!

The Game was a riot! We sat on the 19th row so we were really close to the field! The best part about it was that we were outnumbered 10 to 1 by Alabama fans and we were still ten times louder! Even before the game started! The Utes started out with a big bang scoring three touch downs in the first 10 min! By that point mine and tys voice was already gone! By the end of the third quarter the Alabama fans had started to clear out and by the middle of the fourth quarter they were completly gone! After the game we had alot of Alabama fans that said Utah has the craziest fans they have ever seen!


New Orleans Cemetary

Because New Orleans is below sea level all the graves are above ground. Because of disease the coffins can only be opened every 366 days.

Lower 9th ward was destroyed by the hurrican. It was sad to see. On the homes spray painted was the date it was checked and how many people were found dead in the home.

Mississippi River
The Garden District homes. The biggest most beautiful homes I have ever seen. Alot of movies are filmed in the garden district and it was fun to walk through and be able to see the home that they were filmed in. This home is where they filmed "The Curious cas of Benjamin Button"
