We spent our last day working on the house this Friday. We were able to finish most if not all of the different seams in the house. My favorite task was corner beading, where I would mud the doorways and windows to smooth and hide the metal strip in each corner. When we came home on Friday, we had our last meal with United Saints Parish and got ready to hit the French Quarter. In the Quarter, we walked around and stopped by Bourbon St. one last time. After visiting Cafe du Monde for the second time, we decided to meet up with a large group of Bonners on Frenchman's St. There, we listened to all different types of music, mostly jazz. By the end of the night, everyone was very tired after the long week of work. On Saturday, we had planned to pack up the vans, visit the French Market, and then head out to South Carolina for the long trip home. As we were sitting in the vans in front of United Saints, we got a call from Britt saying the winds and weather (and 26 inches of snow at home) was not Bonner van friendly. Surprise! It was decided that we would stay another night in NOLA and leave Sunday morning. The French Market was an amazing place to visit! We showed up and went straight to the Crêpe Cart to eat breakfast. I got a delicious crêpe filled with strawberries and Nutella! Then, we walked around the open air market picking out gifts and souvenirs to bring home. My favorite purchase of the day was a beautiful painting. After watching some street performers put on a hilarious show, we decided to head out of the quarter for one last time. Back at United Saints, everyone took a very long nap and woke up to dinner of Po-Boys, fried chicken, and ice cream sundaes for dessert! The night was filled with card games, basketball games, and Bonner bonding for our last night in NOLA!
