Day 7

Yesterday we traveled farther south to aid a man named Carol with creating a vegetable garden. After Katrina he was an active community servant helping others with rebuilding. During his service he saved his son from falling in a hole by pushing him away and falling in the hole himself. By doing this he broke many bone and had to have his knee replaced. As a result of his surgery he can no long bend over and plant his own gardens. We all came out and dug up a garden; we tilled the land and planted a big variety of vegetables.

After we left Carol’s, we drove the the Southernmost tip of Lousiana and saw a Cyprus forest that I was being overtaken by saltwater intrusion from the Gulf Of Mexico.

then headed to the Woodland Plantation where we partook in a crayfish boil. It was the first time I tried crayfish and it was delicious!
