Half a Day

We started with another big buffet breakfast, but today we had kitchen duty, where it was our turn to rinse trays and wash dishes.  Today is also the anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti, so there was a special service shortly after breakfast.  Then Paige went back to the sewing room and Bob's group finished their wheelchair ramp.  How does this look for 4 non-professionals spending a day and a half?  (Don't look too closely.)

Wednesday afternoons are intentionally scheduled as free time so that many of us have time to play tourist and sight see, so that's what we did.  About 30 minutes East of here is the town of Morgan City, LA which is now home to the very first off shore oil drilling rig, and is used as a combination of museum and training facility.

We had a very interesting tour of this rig, and then wandered around Morgan City for awhile before returning to home. The weather was a little cool, but good enough to get in a short walk along the Bayou Teche River right behind where we are parked.

After our little walk, we ran into some others who were going into town (Franklin) for supper.  They invited us to come with.  We ate at a very nice little sandwich/soup shop in town.  It gave us another opportunity to get to know some very interesting new people.  So that's it for today.
