out and about

after spending the weekend in boston visiting my sisters, I came back to AmeriWorld to get back into the swing of things.

this week we are going (and have gone) out into the field to look at properties that have been damaged from flooding. we are currently assessing properties in breezy point, which was one of the hardest hit areas in new york. going into the community today to see the areas that were devastated by the storm was an eye-opening experience. there were people working on road construction, repairing roofs, fixing pipes, painting walls, etc. one resident had friends over to eat pizza with and help him repair his home. it was really uplifting to see a community come together after such devastation and rebuild their lives. though the residents of breezy point had several feet of water flow through their homes, they're still able to find hope and work towards rebuilding their community. I find myself continually being pleasantly surprised by the human race.
