I should probably wrap this guy up, just in case.

Hi all, it's been a while. The blog fell off the last week or so due to a total lack of internet. My friend Emily came down for the last week and a friend was nice enough to let us stay in his house that he was about to move into. That house had no internet and I didn't have quite enough time at NENA to update.

Things ended on a great note. There were no volunteers the last week, which was a little sad, but Emily and I insulated about 1/5 (using all the insulation we had) of one of my favorite residents' kitchens. NENA threw me a lavish surprise going away party. It involved seafood and presents. Needless to say, it was amazing.

Emily and I drove out together under an enormous rainbow. Whenever I leave New Orleans, I feel that I'm leaving a small piece of myself there, and this time was no exception. Part of the reason it's taken me until now to finish this is that readjusting to life in Massachusetts was a little painful. I miss amazing food, the aesthetics of the city, being able to wave at strangers, and most of all, the incredible people I met in New Orleans. Needless to say, I will be back. Hopefully by January. We'll see.

To say that I'm happy with how this summer turned out would be an understatement. I would not have had it any other way.


Hey Angela, gonna drive yourself to New Orleans
Hey Angela, don't you know you're everything to me?
