Welcome to New Orleans

I have been so busy lately (hence the lack of journal posts). Since I last updated we biked from Mobile Alabama to Long Beach Mississippi and then into New Orleans. To be honest I don't really remember the exact mileage, but I think it was about 75ish miles each day.

New Orleans is an amazing city. We have already built 3 out of the 6 days, and it has been a great experience. Here we are building with the Episcopal Diocese of New Orleans. They take the houses owned by the people and then help them fix them up. It runs very differently then Habitat but it still seems like a great organization, although it is underfunded and therefore the resources are limited.

I don't have time to update more now though since I'm heading to the house of blues to see Passion Pit.
