So it's way too late for me to be writing this, as we have to get up at 6 to eat and get to work every day here, so I'm going to make it super brief. We started working today, we were assigned to a 96 year old woman who has been a foster mother all of her life and STILL IS for two of her grandchildren (15 and 17). Their house was flooded and had plenty of wind and rain damage. She's getting money from the government (I wonder how many people can say that?) to rebuild her house so we're taking everything out of it and putting it into storage.

Then this evening (after a super performance by our singing group, The Back Seat Boys - videos to come I think) some of the group decided to rest while 6 others and I went out to walk around the french quarter and get some Beignets from Cafe Du Monde.
After that, we headed down to the river for a few photos and good conversation.

I had several photos to upload but it's been uploading for about twenty minutes some going to call it quits and try tomorrow. Until then.
