Trek America

Hey guys, I know I posted a blog before about me in new orleans, ok so to start off from fresh.

After staying at the chelsea star hotel for 2 nights with debbie, we set off on our adventure, first stop Washington DC, the road trip went well I shotgunned front seat which was a good call on my behalf. When we arrived it was about 4pm so we pitched our tents and then started to cook dinner, me debbie and a lad called drew were on dinner duty that night so we prepared fajita's and burritos for the rest of the group.

Later on in teh night we had an illumination tour of all the monuments in DC, its so romantic and it was sooooo nice to spend it with debbie, we talked and caught up on stuff that happened at camp.

P.S predicted hurricane rolling in to New Orleans on tuesday, hopefully we will be in Orlando, FL by that time.

New Orleans (Burbon st)

Ok the stuff posted at teh bottom was added a while ago, here is my journal.
So... We arrived at our hotel in teh french quarter of new orleans, it was pretty amazing, we basically had a huge house for our trek group.
The first night we went out for a mealHad a ghost tour and then down Burbon Street! I ended up getting really drunk, I had this cocktail that is supposidly the strongest one you can get, its called a hand grenade! it was such a fun night, Both the girls and us Lads ended up doing a kareoke at a bar called Cats Meour.
The next day we were all gonna go and do some voluntary work to help the people recover from katrina, but it got called off so we shopped in New Orleans, then later on in the afternoon we all went for a hurricane Katrina tour of teh worst affected areas! Below is a picture of the superdome which is where all teh people seeked refuge during the hurricane.

This is in teh Ghetto's it was deserted, it kinda made you feel like you wanted to help for just a day by demolishing things and ripping them down, things like servo's were toppled over on their side, A whole SERVO!!!! its crazy! another wierd thing about the city is that everyone drives sweet rides, this is because their car insurance covered them for the hurricane but their home insurance only covered hurricanes and not floods which is what did the most damage to the houses!
On a lighter note, here are some of teh more beautiful areas of new orleans that I visited!
This is a crazy pirate robot I saw in a shop, its jaw was jittering and it was just so funny!
Jazz, thats what New Orleans is all about aparently, I didnt experience much jazz, mainly because I dont like it so I got a photo of these 3 guys.
