We started the day off in Amarillo at 8, and got to Tyler around 5pm. The hotel we left this morning had a Texas shaped waffle iron, which was a big hit at breakfast for some members of my team. We drove pretty much all day...stopping for an extremely windy picnic lunch on the side of the road where we made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When we got to Tyler, my friend Erin and I went for a run along side of the highway, which was really hot. The hotel we are staying in is absolutely amazing. I think my team leader splurged a little bit. It is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in...really nice beds and bathroom, it is very refreshing compared to the hotels I am used to staying in for Americorps. We went across the parking lot to a Mexican restaurant for dinner, which was really delicious, AND they had free soft serve ice cream on the way out : )
The team is still really great. I realized today that I haven't felt really angry or stressed out since I've been on this team, which is how I feel a lot on my permanent team. I was talking to other people on the team and they are saying the same thing, that this team is such a change from their old teams, and that it's a really good change. I feel really good about this project, I think it's going to be great. We get to our house in Thibodaux tomorrow in the early afternoon. I can't wait to see it!
