Busy Day Number Four!!

Today we had a very busy day! We all woke up and got ready to go for school. The kids were absolutely wild today! Maybe it was the awesome weather. It's actually crazy that it was so nice out today because this morning it was so foggy out, it was like driving in the clouds! In the morning we played with the children and helped the teachers serve lunch. Lunch was fried catfish, potato salad, and green beans. It was absolutely delicious. With all of this great food we've had this week, I wouldn't be surprised if we all weigh more when we get back! After lunch, I did more coloring along with Olivia. We also got to take the children outside which was awesome. They all had fun marching around the playground. When we were done at the school, we were off to go do kitchen duty!

Exhausted from all of the drawing and coloring!!

We helped serve dinner tonight, which was roast beef po boys! Po boys are basically like hot sub sandwiches. We had to set everything up, serve dinner, then clean up. It was nice because so many people thanked us for serving them! Pastor Randy helped us out a lot, and was happy that we all came to help tonight. Once we were done with kitchen duty, we went to the city again. We really wanted to walk Bourbon Street! We headed in and once we reached Bourbon Street, the night began. Even if you can't see the signs, you can immediately tell which street is Bourbon Street. There are thousands of people, loud music, street performers, but most noticeable of all, neon signs everywhere. There are bars; hotels; strip clubs; stores; you name it, it can be found on Bourbon Street. The dose of culture you feel is amazing. There are live bands and performers everywhere, and so many interesting sights and sounds. I have to admit, I was a little bit sad that I couldn't partake in the alcohol consumption that was going on, but c'est la vie.

Bourbon Street!

After we got past the chaos of Bourbon Street, we walked down Canal Street for quite a ways, and then to Magazine Street, where there are many different restaurants. We made our way back to the van, happy that we got the crazy experience of Bourbon Street, and excited to see more fun things tomorrow! We plan on taking a carriage ride through the city to get some more knowledge about the history of this beautiful city!!!
