Hello all, I am writing this from the comfort of our very busy Mission House a day late. Last night I did not have time to. The day started with us waking up and having another round of beignets at David's insistence. They were of course delicious. AFter that we took a trip to see the aquarium. It turned out to be quite small. However the air conditioning made it all worth it. We saw all sorts of cool fish including sharks, otters, penguins, an albino alligator, and my personal favorite the electric eel. We ate lunch at restaurant called Mother's Creole Kitchen, which was quite delicious. David, Ben, and Ryan got a chance to watch the World Cup game which made them very happy. I got calamari which was quite delicious, however the tentacles scared me a little. We had a little time after that to calm down some, and Sophie and I watched part of a movie. After that we went to the Christ Church Cathedral which was incredible. The service was quite unique. During the Prayers of the People we had time to go around to different prayer station and experience different ways to meditate. We could light a candle, meditate by a labyrinth, place a stone on a location in the word, and get blessed by the Dean. The service was unique and there was: a cellist, a pianist, and a vocalist for the music. After that we went to eat dinner at a New Orleans burger and sea food joint. We got back to the mission, and were all trying to sleep soon after. Sadly we have very noisy neighbors.
