Well we made it to Orange, Texas, after a nice stop at Whataburger for lunch. Definitely not In n Out but close, and a good Texas establishment. The Youth Center where we are staying at is great. There is a gym, a bunch of pool tables, ping pong tables, etc. The staff is great as well, and the other team that is going to be here is from East Parkway in Sacramento so that is cool.
We have a full day of demolition tomorrow. We are going to be working with about 5 or 6 houses that have various needs, mostly stemming from flood damage. We are going to be working with sheet rock, painting, plumbing, sanding, and a lot of trash removal.
The sleeping quarters are very nice, a little nicer than tents in Mexico to say the least. There is one shower for guys and one shower for the ladies, so once there are 50 folks on hand we will be instituting 2 minute military showers. The staff that we have already met here are really nice and they have a very cool building and set up. Orange is a medium size town and on Wednesday nights here they pull in over 300 kids. We are going to grab dinner and play some b-ball in the gym
