New Orleans!

Last month, I attended my second American Councils for Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana! The conference was incredible, as always. I’ll have a post soon on some of the concepts I learned and workshops I attended. But for now, enjoy some shots of the city below the cut. I was primarily hanging out with my fellow QFI Arabic teachers from England and Ireland, so we were all tourists, but I’m going back to NOLA in February with some friends so I’ll be glad to play the role of Tour Guide Supreme next time around ~
