This week has been super crazy!!! I can't believe its only been a week! So much has happened! Last Sunday we went into New Orleans! It was super fun and also a little cold! It was nice to see other teams down there also. We are the only AmeriCorps team here in lake charles so we are a little isolated. I can't wait to spend more time in NOLA for spring break! Jamie gave us a little tour which was nice, and my eyes where opened hugely!
This week we spent finishing up the houses we need to finish for our CO's. Our team is rocking hard core cause we are ahead of schedule! Sadly we have become a team of 7, including our tl, until may but wolf 7 still rocks and is working even harder than before!
The weather here has been super nice! 70's all week. We did have a thunder storm! I was so shocked that it only lasted 2 hours. The wind was so strong i swore the roof of our trailor was going to fly off!!! Lucky it didn't! But it created a lot of mudd! Eryn, Morris, Mercedes, and myself got super muddy!!! Morris fell in the mud a few times. It was super fun tho!!!!! Ill post pics of that adventure soon this week!
This weekend we worked a book fair and went to the gulf of mexico at holly beach. It was the most disgusting beach i have ever seen in my life! It was so brown and there were dead fish along the coast line! YUCK!!!!! We could see at least 15 oil tanker/divers on out in the ocean so i am fairly certain that there is oil and chemicals in this part of the gulf! I did see 2 gators on the side of the highway just chilling so that was cool! I will try and get those pics up shortly as well!!!
Down a NOLA street!
St benard parish lower 9th ward
Out team in our local paper :)
Meagan found this puppy in a ditch starved with a HUGE belly of warms. We named him Quaka wolf 7. Lucky our sponsor adopted him and saved him from the animal control people who were going to euthanise him :( just because he is a pug. It horrible to live in a place like that! Makes me happy to be from such an awesome state thats cares about all creatures! Our sponsor says he is doing well but is blind! They named him Wolf after our team!!!
Seriously They had a Tiger at a gas station here in LA! His name is tony! Its very depressing!
The Lower 9th ward! This is where the levi's brooke! This house had toxic flood water and 1 person found dead! They are slowly rebuilding this area with pretty awesome looking houses and they now have to be a certain level above the ground!
Meagan and I at Cafe Du Monde! Great Coffee and beignets!
