Today we spent most of our day painting a house in the French Quarter. We were out the door at 8:15 this morning, and on our way to the house. At the house we were introduced to the owner, Barbra, and began painting the shed, the window sills, and the house itself. We were all divided into groups to work on certain parts of the house. We were joined by two women from California who helped us paint. Though the heat was hard to work with, we were able to accomplish all that needed to be done, and with time to spare. At the end of the work day, Barbra brought us crawfish. We all sat and ate the crawfish, enjoying the nice weather with a feeling of accomplishment. After we left the work site we went back to the hotel. There we relaxed, some swam, others watched TV, and by 5:15 we were all ready to go on the dinner cruise. We boarded a large boat and we were all seated at tables and given a plate. We got in line and served ourselves a delicious meal. After dinner the boat left the dock and for about two hours we rode down the Mississippi River, enjoying the sights, watching the sunset, and listening to live Jazz music. At the end of the cruise we were all worn out and ready to head back to the hotel. Some watched movies while others relaxed and showered. Overall, we had a great day, and we are all very proud of the work we did on the house!
