There are many things that I'm okay with here in New Orleans, I can accept the fact that the minute I step outside (inside too in some cases) I will be drenched in sweat in under a minute, I can deal with walking two blocks to take a shower on an even hour of the day, I can even get used to monster bugs, Lizards (They're Green Anoles dad!), and Newts that moonlight as snakes showing up without a moment's notice. BUT! If you expect me to fill up on PB&J, boiled eggs, carrots, and Nutri-Grain bars for lunch during a work day then you have another thing coming!
Oh well. I suppose I can just eat a bug or something, they're big enough! today we saw a massive black grasshopper that was as big as my palm! (I have huge hands)
But heedless of all my food shortage woes life goes on vibrantly here in Nawlins, Loosiana. A visit to the French quarter yesterday is the height of the trip so far, we went to the same voodoo shop as last year and I got my dad his father's day present (I just hope he doesn't curse me!)
Apparently I have a reputation already with the Project Homecoming volunteers working with us. Someone probably told them about my berserk mutilation of a kind old couple's floor (don't worry we were taking it out anyway) or one of my other marginally interesting achievements.
Alright I've rambled long enough! Time for a good hot shower and then... Dinner!
All my love to my friends and oh I guess you too family,
-Matt D.
