zestfiveSaturday, drove all day through lots of horrid snow and ice. We got to St. Louis later than hoped but settled in okay.
Sunday drove from St. Louis to Biloxi, came in time for dinner. We settled in, couldn't sleep well being in a new place and everything.
Monday my group went to do drywall and taping but turns out another church showed up instead so we went to Anne's house and painted for her. She was expecting to paint with her son and get done by the end of the week or so. Our group took care of it in a day. Yeah, that was cool. She was pretty amazing and brought us gatorade, candy and gum, gumbo, shrimp po' boys and etc. Unfortunately, I don't like fish or seafood much. I went to the salvation army for lunch. I spoke with a couple of other Universities who were very interested in our volunteer program. Monday night, there was talk about not enough food so me and 3 guys left and ate at a local mexican place. It was very good. So strange to be in the company of men since I am so often in the company of mostly women when I'm socializing (it felt like I was socializing).
Tuesday my group went to a national park to assemble picnic tables. Our group did 23 of them, we rocked! The group the day before only made 20 and we also took a hike, saw an alligator. Had our lunch down by the ocean and spoke with a naturalist. When we got back, I took a shower and relaxed. I'm going to bed earlier than last night I suspect.
Okay...that's all the energy I have to post tonight.
