Michael Finkelstein, 2011

 
Moving back home this summer has renewed my passion for the city of New Orleans. Festivals, events, concerts, endless things to do and places to go have kept me constantly busy and entertained over the past month. I've already remembered how special of a place New Orleans is in the world, and 

First up after finals was Jazzfest, where I saw an amazing performance from The Eagles before kicking off my working summer. Later that week, after a short trip to the Gulf Coast, was a party with the LSU Med School students, Bayou Boogaloo music festival along Bayou St. John in mid-city, bike rides through City Park, an afternoon with Trombone Shorty for Wednesday at the Square, New Orleans Greek Fest, Sunday Runday in Audobon Park with the good folks from Claim Your Journey (http://claimyourjourney.com/), catching up with friends from Tulane, and a networking night with the Young Adult Division of the Jewish Federation of New Orleans.

All along the way have been good friends, family, and fun times. Up this weekend: Back to the Beach, my friend Jordan's wedding at famous St. Louis Cathedral, reception at Jax Brewery, the New Orleans Oyster Festival, Sunday softball league, Sunday Runday. Whew, so much going on, but loving every minute of it.
