first run at Audubon





i went on my first run in Audubon Park this morning before class. it was a cold morning for New Orleans (with the temperature in the low 40s), so I had the park basically to myself, which was wonderful. the track was muddy, but of course that’s nothing new for me. running is such a great way to clear my head, & it’s also an opportunity to explore uptown a little bit. the houses really are too beautiful to be believed— at least the ones that i can see, because many of the most expensive and exclusive streets around here are closed off from the public, with tightly guarded gates.
i ended up running straight through the park, and came upon a Jewish cemetery with gravestones dating back to at least the 1880’s. not bad for a morning run.
