In Waveland
Nov. 7th, 2005 09:10 amQuick update. We're at the New Waveland Cafe. They were delighted to receive our supplies -- but surprised, despite a couple of phone calls and an email to let them know we were en route.
The devastation is biblical. It's hard to describe, and I definitely don't have the mental resources to do it today. I've been volunteering since about 6 a.m.; made 50 pounds of fruit salad, washed a platoons worth of dishes with Pax, and served up eggs to the good people of Waveland with The Ax.
The politics and organization (or lack thereof) of this place are worth a post and a half on their own. Since I'm sitting at a computer terminal (one of three public ones), you can see things aren't too primative -- except where they are by choice, lack of experience, hubris, or incompetence. Or lack of manpower or resources. I'm rambling.
Got my shots -- Hep A and tetanus. No worries, babies.
This is going to be our first day in Waveland. Everyone has said hit the beach and see the devastation. So we go.
I'm taking pictures. More later.
I love you, Babies.
