Good things come to those who wait^^

Hey y'all,
sorry for the wait, things have been busy the past few days, and I have been recovering from a rather nasty sunburn that has left me unwilling to sit with my back against a chair for very long.
It's hard for me to believe that I've already been here for 8 days now. I'll try to make blog postings more regular, otherwise i just wont get to it. Wednesday and Sunday nights are probably the best. Except for the weekend where we did pretty much nothing except lay on the beach in 87 degree weather and hear people talk about how cool it was and contemplate why we came here this summer, we have been working on insulating and drywalling a house out near Bayou Lacroix. We have had an excellent teacher, Dick Wynz, who not only taught us what we were doing, but has shared with us a wealth of information and interesting stories from his past, not just in construction, but in world travel, in his work as a teacher in a correctional facility in Wisconsin. Most importantly though, he has gotten us ready to lead our own teams in the drywalling process. We are also very lucky and have had a friendly relationship with the home-owner, who graciously allowed us to use the restroom in his trailer, surprised us with a case of cold soda the other day, and is having us over for a crawfish boil on saturday before Dick heads home.
(Insert noise of a very long passing train here)
Trains go through Bay St. Louis 4-5 times a day, blaring their horns at every intersection, as per Mississippi law. While this may seem annoying and inconvenient, the train is actually a great symbol of restoration for Bay St. Louis, as the railroad bridge and the Highway 90 bridge over the Bay of St. Louis were both destroyed in Katrina. The fact that train is going through reminds people that the town is coming back together, that it has come a long was since that fateful day.
Yesterday I started chauffeuring a group from England over to their work site (as they had no vehicle, duh^^) That's been fun, although it took a while for them to warm up to me. It was one of those situations where I would ask a question, get a one-word response and then they would instantly go back to talking to each other. Well, some of the other interns have found my hiding spot here on the porch of the Mockingbird Cafe, so I am going to go be social. Look forward to another post by Sunday at the latest, (and if I don't post send me angry e-mails so I feel bad about it^^)
