From New Jersey to New Orleans


The first day that we arrived in New Orleans, I remember all of us being exhausted and a bit cranky. We got off the plane and went straight to the car rental place. As soon as we stepped outside though our moods completely changed. The weather was absolutely gorgeous – The sun was shining and the temperature was in the 70's. We were all in absolute bliss. After we picked up the rental vans it was time to drive to our place of lodging for the week and about thirty minutes later we arrived at our new home located at St. Bernards Parish and we were introduced to Pastor James. He showed us where we would be sleeping and introduced us to the staff that would be cooking meals and helping with maintenance during our stay. During dinner we met our staff partner, who went over in-depth what we would be during our week. After that we asked Pastor James what was going on tonight around the area. He told us about there being an Islenos Festival a short drive down the road where there would be great food and rides. We decided to go check it out and I know we’re all really glad we did. Take a look at what we ended up doing!
