It is sad the week is coming to an end. We have made many memories and made so many “amigos.” Today we went on a tour of the Baja 89 community. This community is newer then the other communities we have previously seen, and so it has city water, but it is nowhere near the American communities we are used to seeing. On our tour, we learned that no schools in Mexico have cafeterias because the school day is only half day. The school in Baja 89 is fortunate enough to have Javier offer a healthy lunch service for the same cost as the kids would spend on junk food. Once we arrived back from our tour we gladly ate our first lunch not in a tortilla. We also had “American” food for breakfast. None of us have ever been so happy to see toast. Then as a brunch for the local kids we gave them a taste of America in the form of hamburgers and watermelon. They all enjoyed that very much. They also enjoyed our rendition of Daniel and the Lion’s Den and the songs we taught them. We will all be traveling back to the beach house later this afternoon for some more playing in the ocean, learning how to surf and our daily siesta.
