Thursday October 29th- Breakfast at Hotel (Continental style- included). In the morning you will take a New Orleans City tour that includes areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina was one of the most devastating storms to strike the Gulf Coast in decades. Its impact on the region was nothing more than devastating. Much of New Orleans is situated at or below sea level making our levees imperative during such a storm. On August 29, 2005, those levees failed...and left much of the city of New Orleans in ruins.
As part of this tour, you will be taken to severely devastated sites around the city, and see the progress being made in rebuilding this great city. You will also learn how Louisiana's disappearing wetlands are negatively impacting New Orleans' hurricane protection system and what must be done to restore this vital barrier to protect us against storm surge. Return to hotel. Lunch
In the afternoon you will be picked up at your hotel to go on an excursion to tour the Oak Valley Plantation.
Stand on the balcony of this greek-style home to experience the breath-taking view of
the levy-lined Mississippi river hundreds of yards from the front door canopied by 28 massive oak trees more than 300 years old. The Plantation encompasses 25 acres of land owned by the non-profit Oak Alley Plantation Foundation. 75 of the surrounding acres are residential homes, 600 acres are leased for sugar cane cultivation and 450 acres are still virgin woodlands. Jacques Telesphore Roman, a wealthy Creole sugar planter, built the present-day mansion in 1839.
If the beautiful grounds aren't enticing enough, perhaps a ghost story or two will draw you to Oak Alley. There have been numerous ghost sightings by employees, and more than one person has heard the sound of a horse drawn carriage making its way up the stone walk.
After the tour you are dropped off at your hotel. Evening at leisure. Dinner on your own.
