ocean on the way down south which was pretty exciting for some of us (Jaye and
Trissy). The main part of our day, besides being on the bus, was spent in the
French Quarter in New Orleans. We toured around there for the afternoon
visiting little shops and eating delicious beignets! The Quarter was filled
with buskers and street venders selling things like paintings, henna tattoos,
and fortune telling. They were all very friendly people! Some went so far as
to sing love ballads to us and one even proposed! (Wedding date to be
announced.) The French Quarter is a very beautiful part of New Orleans with
many old architecturally beautiful buildings and statues. We experienced an
atmosphere that we had never been able to experience before. After our dandy
afternoon in the warm southern sun we ventured to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi
to our hotel. Today we are heading to Pass Christian Goodwill Missionary
Baptist Church. We are looking forward to meeting Billy Morgan and worshipping
with his congregation. This afternoon we're going to a swamp tour which we are
all super excited to see! We all want to see some 'gators! Then we'll head to
Mobile to Camp Christian where we'll be staying for the rest of the week.
We're not sure if we'll be able to blog from the camp yet so this might be it
for a couple days! So s'long fer now!
For the Group, Meghan and Jaye
