Sunday - We Arrive!

We all eventually gathered at the Rochester 'International' Airport to begin our adventure. The day began with a service open to the public commemorating the 5th anniversary of Katerina and honoring Laurelton member Jamie Smith. The service was led by Laurel and Sam with Susan at the Piano, with an impromptu acapella voice session before we got the piano working properly!
We arrived in New Orleans, and headed to St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church to participate in a service to mark the fifth anniversary of the storm. Of the many words I heard to describe the service, "inspiring" is probably the most descriptive.
Dinner was at the Parkway Bakery & Tavern where Po' Boys were enjoyed by all.
Back at the Olive Tree Volunteer Village, we settled in to our new surroundings for some well deserved shut-eye!
