Recap of Day #1

It is HOT!!!!

Regardless, we are having fun. I think the kids really like the city and are excited to work tomorrow. Here is what we did post-"nap."

6pm: Dinner at Cafe Maspero. Many kids tried local favorites like red beans and rice, muffaletta, and jambalaya. Others enjoyed shrimp and catfish. Mmmm. Yum.

7pm-8pm-ish: Shopping. Funny t-shirts. Beads. Masks. Hot sauce. More beads. Pins. Magnets. Voodoo dolls.

8pm: CAFE DU MONDE!!! Beignets. Mmmm. Mr. Holt especially loves these doughnut-goodness-creations. He'd eat them three times a day if he could.

Afterwards, Mr. Holt got caught in an alligator's mouth:

Tomorrow we have to get up at 6am in order to be to our work site. Assuming we'll still have internet access, we'll post updates on how we did in the field!

Hi from Jame, Mr. Holt's, Mom. (A moment while I talk to Jame - Haven't I told you not to stick your head in an alligator's mouth?!) Okay - I just want to tell you all to work hard but have fun. Be good, be careful, and don't stay out too late. (If you go to the French Quarter, watch out for pick-pockets. When I was there back in '72, one of our group lost all money, cash and IDs that way.) You're doing good. Those people need help and aren't getting enough. Love, Mom
