Thibodaux, no Gray, Louisiana

So it turns out we are actually staying in a town called Gray, which is right next to Thibodaux. We pulled up to our house on Bon Jovi Blvd yesterday afternoon. We are living in a neighborhood of all Habitat houses, and we're staying in a couple houses designated to volunteers. The issue right now is that there are all these college kids down here on spring break, so instead of sharing a 4 bedroom house with 9 people, we're sharing it with 18 people. I am currently sleeping on a mat on a concrete floor, which made me feel like I had been beaten last night when I woke up this morning. I think people are starting to leave tonight and Friday though, so hopefully we'll all be in beds in the next couple of days.

I am currently on my lunch break at my first day of work. So far we've put up some storm doors and measured pipes under a house for insulation. I think after lunch we're going to actually put the insulation on the pipes. The weather is pretty hot and humid, which is definitely a change from Denver, especially the humidity. I think it's actually about the same temperature as it was there, but that moisture in the air makes a big difference. On the bright side, it's much easier to breathe here at sea level than it was up there. Well I'm going to get back to work, but I'll write more when something happens!
