We woke up early and, after a quick bowl of cereal, arrived at the job site around 7:45. The experience was very similar as to how I imagined it would be. It was hot, humid, and (thank god) relatively few mosquitoes. I worked closely with many interesting people. For example, david, who wanted me to take action photos of himself working on the construction site. We ended up getting rained out at about 2:40 or so. The rain was a pleasant change from the hot weather. Anyhow, I'm sitting on our host's porch right now looking out at the rain pouring down on the narrow streets of n'arwlins. The porch is the only place that we can get internet here. The house we are living in is in a pretty good location and it's about a twenty minute walk from the french quarter. We plan on going there to get some Cajun food later... maybe some gumbo and some jambalaya.
I'll let you know how our time in the french quarter goes. We might go to check out bourbon street just for the kick of it although i've heard it is pretty cheesy.
P.s. if you are reading my blog but not following it you should follow it! I would like to see who you are!
until next time,
Jared

You are doing a great job of keeping up your blog - I am following Luke's too, but you seem to have a better way with words:) Did you guys watch 60 minutes last night? If not try to watch it on your computer - a very interesting story about the Deepwater Horizon Blowout. Have fun and eat your vegetables. Melanie & Dylan
