Day 6: New Orleans Mission Trip

Yesterday Friday, Team 1-Mac,Patssy, Susan, Tom, Barb, Alyce, and Vela are leaving today and we will miss them. Before they left, we go to our traditional good-bye restaurants Cafe du Monde. Team 1 left and Team 2-Nate, Michael, Allison, Johnny, Graham, Margaret Rose, Alex, Mark, Karen, Eleanor, John, Leader Beth, and Randy Sherman. We left for Erma's house and went to sand, mud, put of sheet rock, and put in the fireplace. The Californians were there and they had to contractors, so they worked on the fireplace. When it was getting late, we headed home and the Knox family went to E Palvilion. We decided to go to the Gumbo Shop and we found out about it by Cliff. On the way down there we were stuck in traffic. Going down Canal with almost every traffic light red was a mess. It took us 45 minutes to go 10 miles. We didn't find a parking spot because of what was going on. It was worth the drive because the food was delious. We found out that the "Battle of the Bands" was going on. The Knoxs walked from their hotel and that was a good decision. On the way back home Co-Pilot "Randy" took us around the same block about three times. Nate, we found out should a comedian and was making us laugh all the way home. The way back took 60 minutes for 10 miles. Pilot "Mark" 'there is more police on this street than there is in Atlanta all together.'
