To New Orelans
Categories: Travel
Soon, I'll be driving to Knoxville. Tomorrow, my father, Andrew and I will be headed to New Oreleans. My dad's church is sending a group of about 20 people down to help rebuild and clean up a church there.
I'll admit, I am a little aprehensive about the trip. While I am excited to hang out with my dad and Andrew and glad to be able to participate in the recovery effort, I am nervous about what things will be like. A lot of folks seem to have forgotten about the area. Recovery is going slowly, by all accounts. People are not really coming back. I wonder what it will be like to enounter all of this first hand. Plus, there is some general nervousness about going, working, eating, and sleeping for a week with a bunch of people I don't really know. This sounds a little petty, given what the people of the region are going through, but I'm just being honest.
I'm taking a wireless laptop, but have no idea how internet access will be down there. I hope to post some updates during the week. If I can't get on-line, I'll be back on Sunday with some reports. I can post date them and put them up when I get back.
