About The Road Trip

My photo
Hello! This blog will follow Alex Marino, Christina Drake, and Henry Lin as they travel from New Orleans to California and beyond. This Krewe du NOLA is a bunch of long-term volunteers who have served two or three years as Construction Assistants with Project Homecoming, the rebuilding ministry of the Presbytery of South Louisiana partnered with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. PH has built over 125 homes in the Greater New Orleans area that were affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. We are raising $30,000 before September 1st to help provide a living stipend for FIVE long-term volunteers for one year. Help to rebuild New Orleans by coming to a presentation, eating some New Orleans cookin’ and bringing more people to this blog!

Help 'Coming Home' play in your town!

Learn more about us on NBC! Call your local NBC station and tell them you want to see "Coming Home: Hurricane Katrina 5 Years Later," a Horizon of the Spirit series program. Check out the preview on the bottom of the page.

Texas, Never Ends...






After a lovely evening with the Fette family, we awoke to a hot breakfast and a great discussion about green construction. We are so grateful for their hospitality. By 9:30 we were back on the road.

Along the way, we shared our stories about how we each came to New Orleans (check back for that video later on!)

Now on a meal and blog stop (Thank God for WiFi McDonalds!) in Vernon, TX (Birthplace of Roy Orbison), we have learned this ... Texas is BIG. Texas is FLAT. There is oil (pronounced Earl) in TX. If you're ever in Vernon, stop at Mr. Jims for a half decent meal.
