This is the end

As this trip comes to an end and we all enjoy this wonderful ride home, I have some time to reflect on the past few days in NOLA. First off, the last day of work was quite a bittersweet moment. It was sad to say goodbye to all the work we had put into the house over the 5 days of work. But as much as I would have loved to help finish and see the completion of Mr. William's home, I'm ready to take all that I've learned about service back to TCNJ and integrate it in my own Bonner site and work. Second, being able to see the city during the day was a completely different experience than just at night. As much as I loved the tours we did each day around different parts of the city, actually being able to walk around it on a beautiful day and experience more of the culture and food in a different setting was a great way to end the trip. I can't get enough of the beignets from Cafe du Monde- so good! As I sit here watching the sun rise in North Carolina, I'm thinking about what a great experience this really was and if I could, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
