Thursday started with a little rain and a long ride from Fairhope, Alabama across Mississippi to Cajun Country in Louisiana. The youth sang beautifully for the residents of the Camelot retirement center, then enjoyed some free time around the hotel before going to an authentic Cajun restaurant called Prejeans.

On 6/4/09, we sang at a Retirement Center. It was a two-part retirement center. There was a nursing home on one half of the building, and then on the other side of the building was an Assisted Living apartment complex. When we started to sing to all of the people, there were instant smiles everywhere. You could tell by just the sounds of their voices that we lightened up their life. That is my favorite part of Choir Tour. I love singing to old people that know our songs and they sit there and sing with us.

After an hour or so of playing frisbee or swimming in the hotel pool or just hanging out talking, we ventured to a locally-reknowned restaurant where we enjoyed delicious, spicy Gumbo, fried crawfish, catfish, shrimp and even alligator. (And in case anyone didn't know, Glenn likes shrimp!) Back at the hotel, everyone broke up into small groups for Examen time where we get to discuss the highs and lows of our days to search for spiritual direction.
