| | Our story includes the same information, but veers off for slightly more walking then the previous entree writers as our group was split in two. Our group continued onward, after the viewing of the St. Louis Cathedral, to peruse some more of the Decatur Street shops. Many of these shops held the standard fare of knick knacks, t-shirts, beads and masks, etc. When we grew hungry, we stopped in Franks Italian and Seafood restaurant and tried our hands at the famous po boy and muffaletta sandwiches, all of which were delicious. Afterwords, we continued to view the streetside shops and marvel at the many different kinds of trinkets. On a tangent trip, we journeyed down the street to enter two antique bookshops both of which had a great many kinds of used and interesting books, though few of us actually made purchases. Content with our prizes from shopping we headed to the famous Cafe du Monde to try some of the famous pastries, the beignetes and some cold beverages of our choosing, be they water or one of the many types of coffee available to us. Full from our pastries, we walked to the nearest terminal to take a trolly ride back to the Riverfront Mall to rejoin or missing companions. Within the mall, a few of us made a last ditch attempt at shopping and almost made us late for the ferry back to the west bank of the river. Luckily, though, we made it in time and returned with the spoils of our trip to enjoy yet another home-cooked meal, all of which was provided by Ms. Shannon, a woman who had provided dinner for us all of this last week. Our last day coming to a close, we began to make preparations for our early departure in the morning.
