We are almost done! My team and I will leave for Denver in a week and two days. Time has flown by! I will be back in San Diego in less than a month. My official last day with AmeriCorps is on July 27th, but my mom and I are road tripping it back home from Denver and plan on stopping where we want for however long we want, so there isn't an exact date for when I arrive in San Diego - sometime around August 3-4...probably. It is bittersweet though. I MISS the crap out of home and cannot wait for ocean sunsets, mexican food, a soft bed, and seeing all the wonderful PEOPLE! But this has been an incredible and life changing experience. I am pretty sure with all the people I have met I can road trip across the US and not even have to stay in a hotel. These are life long friends and I am so happy to have shared this experience with them. I am not sure what I am going to do with myself without a house full of twelve people, sleeping in bunk beds, nursing bug bites and cuts, wearing my steel toe boots and uniform, and driving a 12 passenger van... But I am sure everyone at home will be able to fill my time. :) And now I can satisfy my travel addiction for pretty cheap around the US!
For now though... I am back in NOLA, working and sweating. Here are some pictures of this round...
SOOOOOO Pretty. I WANT TO LIVE HERE!
