Late update for Friday

Sorry for the late update. On Friday, we were able to get our
schedule changed so we could leave for the work site at 7:30 instead
of 8:30. This gave us an extra hour of work in the morning before it
got too hot. We were on track to finish the second house, but
unfortunately there was a tornado warning in the area from a storm
system coming over the Gulf. For safety, we had to pack up and quit a
few hours early. I'm sure if we had been able to finish the day, we
would have been able to get the house done. The team was a little sad
that we weren't able to complete the house, but also very proud of
what we were able to accomplish in the time we had.

The big news for me personally was that, finally, I was eaten by an alligator!

After we got back to the camp, cleaned up, and packed, we headed into
the French Quarter for a little 'downtime'. We spent all evening
there, and make sure to visit the Cafe Du Monde one last time. A good
time was had by all, to be sure. There are lots of stories to tell
from that night, and many others that we are sworn to secrecy to never
tell. :-)

I don't have time to tell them right now, but I will hint that there
may be pictures appearing on Pete's people page showing several of us doing the 'YMCA' dance in full regalia.

Last night, we stayed at the Marriot hotel near the French Quarter, and this morning most of us flew back home.

I'll try to give a more thorough update tomorrow!
