Wow. So, New Orleans was wild. I knew people who had visited and they'd said it was like the third world . . I had always shrugged it off. These people had never been to Africa or Latin America. New Orleans was not as bad as Africa . . . but it was worse than most places we had visited in Latin America.
We were able to work on gutting homes, painting homes, and keeping lawns clear. We met many survivors and their stories made me cry.
A lot of the actions the government is taking doesn't make sense to me right now. It seems really wrong and that makes me angry. I won't ramble here about my thoughts, but if anyone wants to talk about it feel free to email any questions.
Our trip touched us so much we are considering canceling the India wing of our trip this summer and spending the time in New Orleans instead.
Here are our pictures
