New Orleans Pictures, part 2!

Now for round 2.

A lot of the houses in New Orleans looked similar to this. It was amazing all the damage that was done. Every single house down there needed to be worked on. Stores were ruined. There were boats in yards. Cars were sprawled everywhere. It was heart breaking.

Here's our daily attire for working on the houses.

Here's a balcony on Bourbon St. in the French Quarters.

Me after a day of work, covered in dirt.

Cleaning on the shore, showing off my guns.

Here's some of the group on St. Louis St. in the French Quarters

After Ellie and I pretended to flash for beads on Bourbon St., Ben decided to go all the way. This guy cracks me up.

Getting some beads on Bourbon.

Our group in the French Quarters (I'm in the middle on the top row).

Amie, me, and Hillary.
If I get some more pictures from others, I'll share. It was an awesome experience; I hope to go down again. But I'm definitely glad to be back home; sleeping in my own bed and not sleeping in the presence of about 200 people in a tent that could possibly blow over from the strong winds, getting to use a bathroom with running water, and getting to use make-up and a blow dryer. I have lots of funny stories, and got to see God do great things, but it's too much to blog. So if you want to know, give me a call.

I must admit that I had a blast tearing things up. It's a great way to relieve stress.
