Day Six–July 13th

July 13, 2007 by NOLA.

Incredibly, we begin the last of our five work days with two projects remaining. 

Yesterday we cleaned out and gutted houses, garages and other buildings that had sustained damage in the storm.  For some, the sifting through the possessions of an ederly couple who had to leave just before the storm hit was a moving and unforgettable experience. Others, the hard work under difficult conditions was equally draining. 

Most had the opportunity to talk to residents of the neighborhood and get a much better sense of what these people have gone through. 

We will continue to work on these projects today. 

Last evening we went to dinner at Mulatte’s, a Cajun restaurant that played Zydeco music.  We all got caught up in the music.  Here are some pictures from yesterday:
