See ya later, Mickey!

  Yesterday in Disney was magical, but the coffee there is terrible. Disney blend? Fail! But a really fun day was had by all. It worked out that Josh and Brenda (from El Rancho Milagro) along with their little daughter Valeria (age 6) could join…

Leaving Mexico

Last day at the Ranch. We all woke up pretty early and got to packing up our stuff. Team members who remained in sleepyland were ultimately jolted conscious by their tents being collapsed on top of them. Once up, everyone pitched in and did their…

San Angel Colony – with pics

Wow, it’s day 9 already. So, this morning we were awoken by the usual overture of wooden spoon against aluminum pot. In the event that we aren’t fully awakened by this, a snooze feature has been added to this rather head-jarring start to the day.…

A Grand Day Out!

Today we welcomed our foray into town and a huge buffet-o-pizza at Peter Piper Pizza. It’s similar to Chuck E. Cheese although I don’t think Peter is of the rodent variety. The language barrier continues to be a problem as one of our males entered…

Gettin’ Closer. In Bakersfield, CA

Lots and lots of pavement today. Saw some pretty impressive views of Mt. Shasta, fruit and nut trees. And then many sad and eerie reminders of the recent economic meltdown too. Lots of unfinished construction projects and empty malls, abandoned buildings. We ran into a father and…

First night.

Ok, so after writing application forms, getting letters signed and notarized, fundraising until it hurt, we can safely say that we are ON OUR WAY! After many teary goodbyes (mostly from the boys) we zipped through customs with a minimal of “looks” from the US…
