Sunday started with breakfast and a meeting. We planned out the day's activities and then hit the road. Several of us attended a Catholic mass at the Church of the Holy Ghost in the city of New Orleans. It was a very soulful celebration and the mass ended with an energetic Dixieland jazz musical performance. I can tell you the Catholics in New Orleans know how to keep you awake during mass.
We all traveled to the French Quarter for a day of sight-seeing. We started with coffee and beignets at the Cafe Du Monde. Very tasty and very messy to eat. We strolled the streets of the French Quarter, shopping, eating, and enjoying the lively entertainment. 
There were plenty of street musicians, mimes, and everyday people - great for people-watching. The French Quarter area is along the Mississippi River and there is a nice riverwalk area as well.
The day ended with dinner back at St. Paul's - we were also entertained with a couple of songs performed by Loisi and Haati's family. We had a planning meeting to prepare for our week of work - the reason we came to New Orleans.
