Mission Trip to Houma, Louisiana

Our camping place was west of New Orleans on the outskirts of Houma, #21. 
The places we worked were down in the bayous, more than halfway between Houma and #23.
 
 
Our little home away from home.
Our tents were made out of corrugated plastic.

Monday was pleasant and Tuesday was downright warm!!!
