When I think of going south of the Mason Dixie line, I always think of going home but this is a completely new experience. We have learned a lot so far and I do not know what to expect once we arrive. I am not nervous but I do believe that I am anxious to see what is in store for us and to experience the culture and lives of the people of Louisiana.

I think I am overwhelmed with information and I am expecting something that is completely different from what I am used to in the south. I will be content when we arrive and I have had my first encounter with folks. I am very excited! I cannot wait to share this experience with new friends.
