I had to opportunity to attend the SAVMA symposium at Louisiana State University Vet School. This is a conference for veterinary students full of lectures, wet labs, booths, and competitions. Some friends and I were able to compete in Bovine palpation, sadly we didn't make it very far in the competition but it was a blast. Only vet students fly across the country to attend more lectures but it really was worth it. I learned a ton and had so much fun, sounds like a win win. We were also able to head into New Orleans for a few hours and wander the french quarter. Such a fun and dirty place. It was great to walk around and eat some fabulous food. As a part of the conference we were introduced to some amazing louisiana cuisine! I'll be the first to admit that I am a huge fan of crawfish! I would have never guessed it but it is delicious. Most of the pictures are of food but it is no secret that I am the ultimate fat kid and the best part of going anywhere is the food and Louisiana did not disappoint!
