Working for The Man: New Orleans in a week

So after Iowa ended I traveled down to NOLA (New Orleans, LA) to rejoin my team and finish off the St. Bernard Project. Louisiana was great. The weather was extremely exhausting, high 90's in the sun and 200's in some of the attics! I have never sweat from so many body parts all at the same time in my life. Things went well down there. I lived in Camp Hope which is a haven for volunteers. I slept in a big room on a bunk bed with my entire team. During most of my time off I worked at the St. Bernard Animal Control Center cleaning out kennels and walking dogs. At one point, I saved the life of a small brindle pitbull puppy. She had a laceration on one of her "toes" that was down to the meat and was extremely infected. Had I not pointed this out to the vet she may have died of infection. One good dead taken care of! Other times I found myself working in the Camp Hope kitchen with a different AmeriCorps team. We cooked, cleaned, yada yada. When we had time off during the week or weekend we went out on the town. We saw Tropic Thunder one day, went to the Superdome for a tour one evening, then wrapped up the trip with a final hurrah on Bourbon Street. Now that I am back in Maryland I have had plenty of down time to relax. We have another week long break going on as we speak. Tomorrow I am taking a bus to NYC again for my vacation. I am going to do the tourist thing again with a few of my Iowa team members. Expect new pics following this vacation. Right now I am packing and getting things ready to go. Here are my NOLA pics-
