What do I need to work for 4 days non-stop… tools? jeans? work boots? gloves? VERY specific Tshirts! (check!) All has to fit into a smallish size suitcase. Do we do laundry there? Yes… Got the rental car organized? Yes. Did I find the NOLA map? Yes–sort of…

To beignet’s @ Cafe DuMond, to sitting around chatting and to walking in a beautiful old city (Uptown especially). To see first hand the impact of extreme poverty and wonder what can/will be done?
