Back from the Bayou State

- Erica

Wow. I'm FINALLY back at home after what was supposed to be a quick trip to Louisiana. Nothing like a natural disaster to make you hold your family and friends even tighter. I can definitely say we watched the hurricane from my mother's back porch. After that it was three days without internet or electricity (read: no a/c!) and the power is still out. Today in Baton Rouge our plane took off as Air Force One touched down. We didn't even know the president was coming.

Here at our homebase, I'm plugged in again and our daily postings are already on the way starting tomorrow morning. And boy do we have a lot to share!
