Today was a huge letdown. It's raining here, and there's still a storm watch, so we are still at the hotel. Unfortunately we still had to get up at the usual time, 5:30, and go down to the buses. They were making last minute decisions, we ended up going to another casino to take a big group picture with the Carters. That took an hour and a half. Then we went to a baseball stadium with a big tent and ate breakfast. They finally decided the sites were closed and we had to go back.
But I just won $7 on slots!
I found a litte blurb about the family we were rehabing for-
The water from Katrina "messed up everything we had." Eugene and Patricia tried to ride
out the storm in their house, but the water got so high they had to leave. The water was up to
his neck when he tired to walk outside. They made their way to the railroad tracks, which were
on higher groud, and followed them to a school where they took shelter.
He was really nice, always smiling, and made the work a lot easier to do. The hardwood floors we put in looked really nice with the off-white paint we used. Everyday, he'd come over to help a little, and he looked really pleased with all the stuff being done.
Next year, the build is in Indonesia. It has been a great trip, a little bit of nccc again.
