tuesday ?

:D




i'm tired .
my ankles kind of hurt .

and my legs
ache .

and i've got itty bity cuts
on my arms .


but really ,
i'm
pretty happy .


neworleans
is pretty swell

if you have not
been before



you really should go

its like
disneyworld



all the doors of the stores are open

and at night
people spill from the inside


you can always hear
music
from somewhere


and everyone
is very friendly


and honest


it's
different






back home
people are nice



they'll smile to you
on the street


say hello
maybe




but here
you pass someone

and they are
just so kind

as if they were
and old friend

asking you
where you're from
and
why you're here

so thankful
when they discover
that were here
to help


if i were them


i'd be so bitter
and angry
about my loss

about everything
really



even eighteen months
later




but they're not like
that



its crazy


i couldn't tell you
if the hurricane
made them
nicer ,
closer
people



i didnt know them
before




but now
what i can say is


these peoples
houses
are destroyed
and
alot of their stores
are closed .

and they're still
much happier
then i could
ever imagine .



today when we were
at the house


this man stopped infront
of the house

honked
got out of his car


and yelled at us
"Thanks !"




we'd never seen him before .
just this guy .








it was
pretty
cool .
