New Orleans!

So today, my team and I went to the French Quarter in New Orleans, which was lots of fun. There is a big flea market and a lot of shops and cafes along the roads. We have been visiting a lot of places around the city and also looking at the damage still present from Hurricane Katrina. It is very sad to see all of the houses that are still boarded up and uninhabitable even three years after the hurricane.
So on a happier note, our cooking is not going unnoticed by the volunteers and locals who eat at Camp Hope. Everyone is saying that our food is amazing and that we are the best AmeriCorps
team who has come to cook for them. So far, some of what we have made is chili, meat loaf or rice, beans and cheese for the vegetarians, and every Friday is pizza day. It is fun to cook for everyone, just the cleanup part is not so much fun! But we have a schedule down so that everybody gets their fair share of the fun part, which is serving the food instead of dishes!
There is one local who likes to take people on ghost tours of nearby buildings! He claims that the buildings are haunted and that if you take pictures, sometimes you can get ghosts to show up in your pictures. However, I have now been on the tour three times, and nobody has found anything strange in any of the pictures or even heard or seen a ghost! Hopefully by the time we leave, there will be at least one story because I am sure we will go looking again soon!
