I loved walking around the city listening to some of the hardest working musicians pour their heart and soul into their street performances. Loved this girl's voice over her banjo and tap.

There's a tradition in New Orleans where clipping a dollar on your shirt let's the locals know that it's your birthday. Since we celebrated Ethan's 12th on the trip, he ended up with a bunch or birthday wishes and a few extra dollars!
