Today was the last day that we worked at the site across from the soup kitchen. Maggie and I were finishing putting insulation in the roof where the sun was showing through. It was fun doing that. We all finished up and we went with Jay one of the guys there to this girls and boys club and checked out what they had done to this place. It had been rebuilt all the way and it looked really nice and it was nice with the air on in there. Then we went to the rainbow child care center to drop off some books that we had brought with us for the kids at the daycare. Then we went back to Peace Church so we could get ready to go to New Orleans. When we got there we went and ate. It was nice. After we ate we went down to the gift shop and bought some stuff. Then we walked a little more and then Cindy said we could split up. So Carol, Barb, Xan, Sarah, Vesti, and I went down the street away from the others. We had so much fun in New Orleans we saw a parade and it was fun. I got a picture with this guy that was spray painted with silver pretending that he was a statue. Then we turned around and walked the other way and when it was almost 9 pm when we were suppose to meet everyone at one spot we were there. We stood by this cafe that was called 544 with music playing and they started playing "Respect" and I started to dance to it. I really like that song. And when the others came we were dancing to "Shout" it was so awesome. After a hard days work you can go and enjoy yourself sometimes when you are in another state and city. Thats all I have to say for now but this trip has been great for me. I love it down here in Louisiana. I will probably come back in November or something. Its fun down here in Louisiana. Next time more people should come. Your missing out on all the fun even if you do have to sweat a little. By for now see you soon Ohio. God bless everyone that came with and helped out. It is so nice just to do something for someone when they have lost everything in the world. Love being down here, Kristina.
