Whew! It's been awhile. Here are some photos from over the past month, a bit of stuff has happened.
We dog/house sat in Old Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans this past week. It was like staying at a spa! It was the home of one of Lindsey's co-workers and it sure was nice. Here is one of the dogs we were watching, Wesley, and he just stayed in the closet most of the time...poor guy.
We had a big pasta dinner on the patio our last night while the neighbors had a party with a live jazz band, pretty nice.
We went to a training this past weekend to help people evacuate from the city if there is another evacuation. We were even served MRE's for lunch, which are standard army/evacuee dining.
It wasn't too bad having a hot tub and a pool for the week.
I don't know why my shirt is off in every photo...but here's the inside of the house. In the back corner they had a huge big screen TV that was built into a cabinet and mechanically rose out with a remote...best part of the house.
Some day...
This is the other dog that we watched for the week, Wenis... He was a little more lively and pretty funny. We had a good time with him but he was pretty mishieivous.
Our old Peace Corps sitemate Amanda came to visit for a couple days and we took her all over the city. It was a lot of fun to see her, just too bad that it was only for three days! We took her to Jean Laffitte National Park and only saw this one little alligator.
Amanda and Lindsey at the park, and then we rewarded ourselves with some sweet drinks from Sonic.
Here's Lindsey and a bunch of her social work buddies.
