Today was the best day of the trip so far for me at least. First we started out the day by going to a park in St. Bernard's Parish , near(or maybe in) the lower 9th ward. This park is the only open public park down there so working on this meant a lot to us and the community. I worked mainly on putting mulch in the garden and weeding, and carrying huge wood planks to the dumpster. Then during our lunch break Anna and Elin snuk behind the car and grabbed squirt bottles and started squirting everyone, eventually we had an all out water bottle war. That was a great way to end the last day of work. On the ride back to the church Norm drove us around the lower 9th ward where the house literally got washed away, it was really hard to see the damage. But when we got back to the church we all started preparing for dinner and going to Al and Berniece's house. When we got to their house, it was amazing...all of the work we did actually paid off and the house looked like one million dollars . That was the best part of my trip most definitely. During this trip I felt a lot more attached to not just the houses but the people of the city I really did enjoy every day of this trip.
