Vacation!

Hey all, I'm writing right now from snoy, cold New Hampshire because, that's right, I'm home for the holidays! To tide you guys over through the new year I'll give a quick update about what the next few weeks will have in store for me and then leave you with some pictures for your viewing pleasure :)

I'm home until the 4th of January at which point I'll head back down south and continue work in Hancock County until January 22nd at which point my unit (the Green unit) and the Silver unit will all meet up in Mississippi for Transition Week. During this week we'll do all sorts of fun things like project debriefs (on the projects we've been completing the past months) as well as project briefings (for the projects we're about to begin). My team hasn't been informed of our next project yet, however, we will hopefully find out before the end of our first week back in Pearlington! We do know, however, that we will be staying in the gulf for our second round and then sometime in March be returning to Sacramento and the Pacific Region.

And now for some pictures!






This picture was taken from outside a restaurant in New Orleans on Thanksgiving morning, the band walked down the street and stopped right out side of the cafe.







From far left to right, Sarah, Abe, Katie and myself at our Americorps NCCC Class 15 Pacific Region induction ceremony.













A San Diego sunset.











Downtown Bay St. Louis is covered with signs like this exclaiming the promise that vacant lots and buildings hold.










This is our dear Gov-y, the Government issue 15-passenger van that belongs to Green 5 :). We take her everywhere!












And, finally, an oldie but a goodie. A snapshot from times past, Green 5 grabbing dinner at a restaurant somewhere in Texas on our road trip from Sacrameto, CA to Hancock County, MS.









take care and happy holidays,
