More Nemu...
Day 223:
Nemu learned a new trick: belly up! Sometimes she needs assistance though, if not only to pull that tail out from between her legs...

Breakfast and Cockroaches
Day 221:
Sandy came to Raleigh to have breakfast with me and Erica before her race the next day. BIG ED'S CITY MARKET in downtown Raleigh is delicious!
And then I found a huge cockroach later at night the same day at the apartment. I trapped it in a tupperware and taped paper around it so it couldn't escape. SO DISGUSTING!

Katrina Day 4
Day 218:
We worked on John's house for 2 days. He had this beautiful, old Creole style home. The inside was completely gutted. There are still remainders of the history of this house. This wallpaper, for example. It's actually made from old newspapers, the oldest one found (so far) dating from 1890s!
The guys took out the floorboards and this was what was left.
The house next door. There was a whole section attached to where the white space is of this house.
This dog was awesome. :) So friendly. Look at her...she's just enjoying life.

Katrina Day 2
Day 217:
Our group worked on insulation all day, so I don't have any pictures from that. But this was a night the State group was able to go into downtown, eat good food, and hang out.
The Mississippi River!
Most of the group.
Goofing around at Cafe Du Monde!

Katrina Day 1
Day 216:
This is the church we met at every morning during our work week. The sanctuary was flooded. It had been cleaned out and someone with a wonderful sense of humor left this giant teddy bear on the balcony. :)
Our group worked with Miss Joanna and her wonderful nephew, Elton, came to help after school.
She told us some pretty crazy stories about her experience. I show this picture because she told us about her new hardwood floors she had put in within a year of living in her house. Then Katrina hit. Now this is what's left.
There's still a lot of cleaning up to do in New Orleans.

French Quarter
Day 215:
Spent some the day walking around downtown. Beautiful city. It's just kind of sad that the city is so well-known for partying and having open alcoholic beverages on the streets that leads to having tacky and trashy souvenir shops that really takes away from the beauty of the city's architecture and tradition.
Anyway, here are a few captures from the day:
View of Jackson Square and St. Paul's Cathedral behind it.
Closer view from within Jackson Square.
Inside of the cathedral.
Lunch at Petunia's, a little French restaurant!
