Back to Denver

On Thursday morning the team left our lowernine.org house to head back to Denver. We stayed in Terrell, TX our first night and ate dinner at Applebees. It was great. We left the following morning at 8am for Salina, Kansas. Tonight we’re staying at a Days Inn. For dinner tonight we were going to treat ourselves to Red Lobster, because we thought we had enough money with our AmeriCorps budget (we saved money making our own lunches on the cheap). But, they seated us, we looked at the menu, and saw that this restaurant was not for our AmeriCorps budget. So we left and went to Chili’s. It was great! Tomorrow we will be in Denver in the afternoon.

Katie snags lunch out of the back of the van.

I’m excited to get back to Denver, but I will miss this project. This round went well. I worked at Willie’s house for the whole round. I was a site supervisor of volunteers from New York City and for Summer of Service AmeriCorps members. We built a shed and worked on the inside of the house to re-frame and re-floor the rotten wood from the storm. We were able to finish the framing before I left for Denver. Overall, the spike was good. I got to meet some great volunteers at lowernine.org who I hung out with the entire time.
