Back in Mississippi

Hi everyone...
I'm back in Biloxi. We drove around Biloxi and Long Beach for a bit today and there is still MUCH work to be done.

Much looks the same as before, but there has been progress and even rebuilding happening in many parts of Biloxi itself.

Handson seems much the same. We got in just before dinner (well in time for a 5 mile run) and the meetings went the same.

Tomorrow I am going to Beauvoir (Jefferson Davis' house). Other teams include Humane Society/Street team where they are building a database of pets to help in the event of another disaster, interiors (I think putting up drywall, but not positive), Mold, Salvation Army, Community Coordination Center.

So all-in-all things appear about the same. Quite a few people are here from other trips. Some have stayed straight through, others just got back...Carrie, Nate, Jacquline, Gueriellmo (Will), Joe, Meeko, Amy, Kate, and several others come immediately to mind.

oh and a very positive change? Faster internet connections :)
