I can tell you that it's $20/day for some housing they have set up at "Camp Hope", which also pays for 3 meals per day. In all honesty, though, I'm hoping to eat out for dinner every night. I gots to have me some of that down-home New Orleans cuisine.Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-78212173371087424762007-11-19T23:35:00.000-06:002007-11-19T23:35:00.000-06:00Serious question, how much do you spend to go down...Serious question, how much do you spend to go down, stay and come back? This is something I'd be very interested in doing, but being a grad student myself, the financial options are very limited.Diamond Dave Digglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365112639076799173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-63121599196338890952007-11-19T23:13:00.000-06:002007-11-19T23:13:00.000-06:00Thank you for going.
