Deep Thoughts from Alex, Cody, and John

It seems as if the development in the ninth ward since last year has been very slow.  The beach clean on Monday was pretty fun, but the dorm rooms scared us. On Tuesday we planted Salt Marsh Grass and Spartania Grass.  The first half was fun (with some mud fights).  The second half of planting was very long and hot, but in the end we realized how much of a difference we made in one day.  We planted $4,000 to $6,000 worth of plants.  And in the words of Aerosmith..."I don't want to close my eyes!  I don't want to fall asleep because I miss you babe, and I don't want to miss a thing!  Cause even when I think of New Orleans, the sweetest dream will never do.  I still miss you New Orleans, and I don't want to miss a thing!"

It's awesome to see you guys are hard at work! Also, to see that Aerosmith stands the test of time.

Your trip looks amazing and I am sad I am not with you all. Enjoy your last day of hard work and the pizza party!

it's sad because even though we are back in chicago, and no longer with everybody, my brother is still singing that song, and it's still stuck in my head.

You were great on the trip! You guys all worked so hard. Enjoy the start of your summer now!
