Read the passage from "Part of the Stew."
New Orleans was very different from the Northern cities we
knew so well. Here, people of different nationalities didn't
live, work, and shop within their own little settlements
separate from the others. Instead, the city was a wonderful
mix that I jokingly called a stew, my friend Jean Paul called
a bouillabaisse, and my neighbor Miguel dubbed a
gazpacho. When my family first arrived, I would make up
any excuse to go to the shops around the town square just
so I could enjoy the colorful sights and sounds of the
people. Some were fresh from Canada, Germany, or the
Caribbean. Others hailed from France, Spain, or Africa.
There were also quite a few native people. It truly was an
exciting place.
