Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Sorry this latest entry is a little late, but we were VERY busy yesterday. All of us first met a St. Norbert College around 8:15. We soon ventured out to Milwaukee as this is where our plane was located. Many thanks to Breanna Mekuly and Bryant Scherer getting us there safely! We departed for New Orleans at 12:25 p.m. and arrived two hours later. The flight was very smooth from my side. Once the plane landed, I knew we couldn't be in Wisconsin anymore as there was no signs of snow or cold weather! We took an "airport bus" to our living quarters. We are staying at the St. Jude's Community Center in the downtown area of the city. This place is reserved for volunteer groups from around different parts of the country, striving to help out the local community. I believe everyone's first "eye opener" were the rooms. There is only one room for all of the people who are staying here (men on the first floor, women on the second). Beds were stacked in threes. We were very nervous about this situation as we would leave our personal belongings with complete strangers. However, we realized that everyone here is working on the same goal: to help the people on New Orleans. Thus, we are confident that no one would take our stuff. After we became situated, we took the trolly to Jacques-imo's. Wonderful food! ----To be continued.
Yes, the food was incredible! The food ranged from grilled grouper, quail, and rabbit. After that, we decided to hit up the French Quarter. It was such a riveting experience! We had the famous beignets at Cafe du Monde and had our reflection near a fountain. We came back around midnight, ready for another exciting day!
