Cemetery Fortresses and Streetcar Abandonment

How often does a streetcar driver stop the vehicle, get out, cross the street, get into his car, and drive away? To our astonishment, this happened to us on the way back to the magnificent Bienville House the afternoon of Day 3 and is a daily occurence. This was shortly after we squeezed through the gates of one of New Orleans' many cemeteries to find out the gates were open on the far side. With that in mind, the possibilities are endless. As Day 4 starts, we are waking up to the pitter patter of rain on our windows as if opportunity were knocking at our door. Bonds have been made, gumbo and beignets have been devoured, and students have been served. There is still much to do at John Dibert Elementary, but we are working our best to provide the best. This trip has brought nothing but happiness to everyone and I am excited for the days to come.
