Working in NOLA

While at Ferry Place, we worked on tar papering a roof, figuring out flashing (Kate did that valley ever get figured out????), measuring for trusses (measure 24" then mark at center and 3/4" to each side of that). We also worked off a pump jack scaffolding system to paint one side of a house, 2nd floor. Jim and Bonnie and some additional church members provided a scrumptious dinner, twice and po-boys for lunch on Friday.

As usual, the best part is meeting and talking to all the people. Truly a dedicated and hard working group.

Now, on to more food... We ate at Tomatillo's on Esplanade (remember that place Nelly and Jon????) also at Nacho Mama's on Magazine, our customary trip to Cafe Du Monde, and visited Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro. The best meal and culinary experience was at Emeril's Delmonico on Friday night. Magnificent food and atmosphere, we had a terrific time, I would highly recommend it!

We spent considerable time visiting schools as well and I will post more on the craziness there when I get a chance.... Dawn
