Day 13 - Leaving New Orleans

We try to leave New Orleans for Austin, TX. We stop at Walmart to get some supplies. Pulling out of Walmart, the bus loses any acceleration capacity.

We get towed to a shop outside of New Orleans. It's an easy fix, a new distributor is needed.

We plan to stay in New Orleans for at least another day.

Day 12 - NOLA

We tour the 9th Ward to see if there has been any progress.
We meet up with Chloe Cockburn, an attorney for the Vera Institute of Justice (NY), who has been working in New Orleans to help revise their criminal justice system. She is Tao Ruspoli's sister-in-law.
