Happy Abandoned Orphanage Day!

Ok, so, as a Memorial Day treat, I've decided to post TWO blogs today. I've been doing so much and blogging so little. I've got to catch up.

Charlsie and I explored an abandoned orphanage (which had most recently been used as a boys reformatory type of school prior to its complete abandonment after Katrina) today. She photographs abandoned buildings (and is documenting entropy therein), so I decided to tag along. Here are some pics of the place we broke into..I mean visited...today.

It looks like they just picked up and walked out. Nothing had changed, really, in the four years since the hurricane.

or maybe it has, a bit...

Mold eaten classrooms....

Mold-engulfed orphan beds in the attic!

We stayed for about an hour, leaving hastily for fear of arrest/mold poisoning/zombie attack.
