We are here!!!!

So we arrived at our hotel in New Orleans at about 4pm(5pm our time). We had a flight delay for about an hour at our connecting flight. We went to the closing events for the night and it was very informative. There was a woman who spoke to us about how she lived on a Superfund site for about 30 years and she talked about the toxins that were buried there from hurricane Betsy (40 years ago) and how people were getting sick and some had died. It was a very strong story that I would be interested to learn more about.
Amanda and I have been having lots of fun so far. We just got back from walking around and experiencing some crazy culture. We walked over to the french quarters and don't worry we had the video recorder to document every thing. We start bright and early tomorrow to learn more about the Gulf Coast Civic Works Project. We already have seen some great ideas for service work that are in the surrounding areas of New Orleans that have not been getting that much attention. Cant wait to come and report back to everyone.
