Our itinerary originally held that we would make the from from NO to ATL today, but we changed it. We had been planning to visit some schools in the ATL on monday, but none of our arrangements with schools came to fruit, and Jayne (the pastor) told us about some great cultural events happening on sunday. We had a group meeting, and decided to spend the day in New Orleans instead of Atlanta.
We woke, had an easy morning, and went to a songwriting workshop with some local musicians in the afternoon. At the end of the workshop, they invited students to come jam with them. Sam and Indigo got on the stage and rocked out. Sam kept a mean beat and looked a natural drummer.
We came back to the church for dinner with Jayne and her husband Alfredo. Alfredo is mexican and Jayne worked for many years assisting the undocumented become legal or gain rights. they spoke with us about some of the issues they encountered, legal, social and economic for undocumented immigrants.
Tomorrow we are making the drive to Atlanta, where we do have a school visit in the morning on Tuesday. That afternoon we drive to knoxville, back on schedule.
