El primero dia en Mexico

Hello readers. Thanks for your interest in our blog. Today marks an important event for our Global Voice team as we have just arrived at our destination in Loreto, Mexico. We started early this morning (4:30am when this picture was taken) in the Reno airport and made our way south to Los Angeles via small propeller powered airplanes to our current destination about 3/4 of the way down the Baja peninsula. Loreto is a beautiful spot with hypnotic desert mountains rising out of the Sea of Cortez. It feels good to be back in Central America where the pace of life is a little slower and strangers seem to have greater concern for one another. Our accommodations here in Loreto are terrific (Thanks Yandre and Teague) and the weather is much warmer than the snowy winter wonderland of Northern Nevada. Tonight we dined on a fantastic meal composed of tacos of all varieties including fish, beef, and pork. We are getting ourselves settled in and working out the logistics of how we are going to work together as a team on our service-learning projects. Although tired, we are in good spirits and are looking forward to the adventures that lie ahead. Stay tuned for posts from the rest of our team. -Darren
