The second place we toured today was the Konrico Rice mill. There is a lot of rice farming in the area and this is the oldest rice mill in the country. It looked like it too. Makes us wonder if we want to eat rice anymore but it was fun. Did ya know that Rice is planted by airplane? That would be a fun ride.

We have completed the first week of work and Sat. is for sightseeing. We drove to the Tabasco plant on Avery Island in New Beria, La. We had no idea there was Tabasco pepper sauce in so many products. The film and factory was very interesting. And we tasted a lot of things like Tabasco Ice Cream. Pretty fun!

Along the beautiful shores of Lake Arthur, LA

This is the Camp I mentioned on the first post of this trip.

We arrived at Lake Arthur LA on Sat evening all safe and sound and very glad to get here after long days of driving. The Christian camp we are staying at, is right on Lake Arthur and really a beautiful view. The work area covers 5 Parishes which are counties so some of the teams have to drive a ways in the morning to get to work. Amazing how much damage is around yet 3 years after Rita. Ike did hit this area too so that didn't help. Please pray for all the people we help and for us and the teams too.

Jan 24 On the road again

Wow we left Colorado on Jan 21 in beautiful weather. Traveled to Delhart Tx and enjoyed the park and about a million snow and Canadian Geese on the lake. We stayed in Bowie Thur night and arrived in Beaumont Tx Fri. night. We are picking up Kathleen at the airport here and then heading to Lake Arthur. Everybody is supposed to be there by 4 PM to get settled in and be ready for supper by 6. Just found out the flight for Kathleen is at least a half hour late so we will most likely be late getting to Lake Arthur but so be it.
