Beautiful Places In Louisiana

Louisiana is a place of beautiful wildlife and landscape. With about forty percent of the state being marshes and wetlands. It is very important for us to preserve these wetlands and keep them from disappearing like they have been for the past fifty years. Almost eighty percent of wetland loss in the nation has happened in Louisiana. Just in the past ten years the state has seen a thirty percent deduction in the wetlands. The bad thing about these wetlands disappearing is that they are just being

already know that the state of Louisiana is more than just spicy food and mind-altering music. It’s a multicultural fusion of African, French and Spanish influence and inspiration. Friendly people, beautiful architecture, and some of Mother Nature’s most magnificent landscapes summon visitors to the state of Louisiana. Here is what you can look forward to in each region.

excitement. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the city offers free and educational opportunities. I really enjoy having the opportunity to expand my education, especially in the field of American history. Costa Mesa, California, also offers the same opportunities. After researching about all of the expenses, including multiple excursions, I have found it difficult to decide whether to travel to Costa Mesa, California or New Orleans, Louisiana. Costa Mesa, California provides a beautiful, scenic view and offers

January 2017 If Heaven Ain’t a Lot Like Dixie Many people know of the states making up the Southern region of the United States such as Alabama, Kentucky, and Louisiana, but few appreciate the culture and climate of Dixieland. Disregarding the atrocious history of the South, the modern day region is an interesting and culturally diverse place. Many people, like some in my hometown, go their whole lives without venturing the states adjacent to their own. However, when I got the opportunity to explore

Augustine of Hippo once stated, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” It was after stumbling across this statement that I was influenced to call up my friend and suggest a road trip. When we started off, it was a beautiful day. The bright morning sun peeked over the Appalachian mountains to bid us farewell as we packed our belongings into the 2011 Chevy Cruze. Dew still perched on the delicate leaves of various summer flowers while we rode down the road towards Tennessee

me . We all come from different places I’m from a small country named Guatemala. Guatemala is located in Central America which is a beautiful place to visit but it can be dangerous too. I lived in Guatemala for eight and a half years then I moved to Louisiana. Moving to Louisiana change the way that I lived. Everything was weird to me but somehow I feel like I belong here. So for the most part I didn't feel that big of a difference moving from Guatemala to Louisiana. I never thought the Guatemala

Also known as the Show Me State, Missouri is known for their capital, Jefferson City. The beautiful Bluebird is their state’s bird with the gorgeous Flowering Dogwood tree that fills the lands. They have a population of over five million people and land approximately seventy thousand square miles across. The Show Me State is also known for their Gateway Arch that draws several tourists and residents all year long. The Arch in St. Louis is the country’s tallest manmade monument. It was built at

On a small peninsula, 70 miles southwest of New Orleans, there is a single stretch of road that leads into a fascinating place called Isle de Jean Charles. This is a place where living off the land is a way of life that is quickly becoming impossible to accomplish. The wetlands that used to provide nourishment for the plants and wildlife have now been replaced with the water from the Gulf and neither the freshwater marshes nor the vegetation were able to sustain this intrusion. Where there used to

landscapes emphasize gruesome acts and remind us of man’s capability for despicable amorality. Though we often like to sequester slavery to a time and a place no longer existent, it was not 19th century Louisiana that committed these heinous acts but rather the privileged white men who occupied the territory. Louisiana landscapes are and always will be beautiful; it is man that muddies our retrospective visions. Yet, Steve McQueen allows us to breathe for the beauty itself often provides relief from horrific

a major thing to in society today that not many people can agree on. Food is such a huge part of our everyday lives, but when two people are asked what they want to eat it seems that no one can come to an agreement. Food, however, is, “something beautiful to be shared with people” (M.F.K. Fisher), not something to cause problems and arguments when a decision about the food can’t be made.
