The Musicians Village-it's still dark at 5:30am. This makes it hard to wake up.
-Sleeping on an air mattress also makes it difficult to get up.
-New Orleans is awfully hot in February.
-Buses sometimes get stuck in the mud, and then you get to ride in the bright pink Habitat bus.
-When you work with insulation, you get to wear a mask like the Grey's Anatomy surgeons.
Steph's pretty much the coolest person I know. -How to insulate the wrong way
-How to insulate the right way.
-When 300 people are attempting to shower, the water gets cold. (And sometimes there are newts in the shower! I saw one!)
Today was fulfilling. I was mostly painting, and then just insulating, but it still feels good to do something useful, especially when you take a walk around the area and see how much there is to be done.
Tonight, we hit up Bourbon Street for some eating, shopping, and sightseeing fun before getting up before dawn tomorrow morning again. Hopefully, we'll get to take a tour of the area we're working in tomorrow- while we've seen some pretty unbelievable things from the road, it's different seeing it all up close.
We found this while on a walk, down the street from where we're working.
Sometimes, pictures just speak for themselves.
