New Orleans!!

We found out our permanent teams on Friday and mine is amazing! We are going down to New Orleans and working at Camp Hope, which is a place that volunteers coming to work on disaster relief can stay. We are going to cook for all of the volunteers- there are two shifts- 4 am- 12 pm and 12 pm to 8 pm. Our team leader is going to change the shifts every week so that we get to know all of our teammates. We are working Monday to Friday and getting off the weekends which should be good. It also means that there is plenty of time for ISP, or Independent Learning Service, which is basically volunteering for hours. We all need to have 80 hours of ISP for the end of the year. Luckily, we will have lots of time off and will be able to easily do ISP. We are counting down the days now until we leave Monday morning. We can drive 8 hours per day and are staying in hotels Monday and Tuesday night. People who are the drivers for the team can only drive for 2 hours at a time, so we will be making many stops along the way!
We went to the air force academy yesterday, which was difficult because there was a lot of physical activity involved, which included having very good arm and upper body strength. There were some who were really good at this and others who could not do many of the activities because they didn't have the strength. It was overall a very fun day and also a good way to bond with the team.
I went to the Obama rally on Sunday, which was really fun. There was about a mile long line to get in to the park where it was and there were tons of people. There were snipers on the roof with huge guns, watching people the whole time.
I also have pictures of this but I forget my cord for the camera in my room, so next time!!
