Afternoon! We made it! We arrived early this morning into Guadalajara, Mexico via Los Angeles. The trip went off without a hitch....for the most part. Besides being tired and a little grumpy, I felt great when I got through customs at approximately 7:30 a.m. Central Time. We made our way through Guadalajara to the hotel we are staying at (it is this cute place that feels very local, very comfortable). I went out with some others to explore a local eatery that came highly recommended (it was yummy). I then came back to the hotel by myself (I was tired and others went off to explore more) and eve stopped to order myself some frozen yogurt with chocolate sauce and a bottle of agua. :-) I am not sitting quietly in my room watching ESPN 2 in Spanish
Tonight we will come together to pray, commune, then share a common meal before heading to the Casa tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to meeting Lupita and the children of the Casa.
Time for a nap (we traveled all evening and I am a bit off). Best and talk soon!

Nineteen members of First Church Somerville will be heading down to Colima, Mexico to live and work at the Casa San José orphanage for eight days. Our experiences will range from those going for the first time to those returning to the place they called home for a year, and everything in between. Please join us on our journey.
