Bicicletas y Bicycles. :)

Hello to all our readers. :)
Our second day here in Loreto has come and gone in what seems like no time at all, and already our group is making vast progress in the exploration of this beautiful town. As we settle in we are beginning to find different resources such as grocery stores, restaurants, and of course, ice cream parlors. (Seeing as one of our goals is to eat ice cream everyday).
We recently acquired bikes, thanks to all the those who loaned them to us; Rick, Jeff, Paul, and Jesus, these will be extremely useful in the aiding of transportation around Loreto. Also a fun activity for the group. A special thanks to Patty for assisting us in the transportation department today and Jesus (Chuy) as well.
When walking out of the house, we have found that whatever path is chosen, something miraculous will be found, whether it be the breathtaking view of the sea, or the enticing and irresistible smell of the warm, freshly baked tortillas in the Tortilleria on the opposing end.
Tomorrow we will be taking the path that leads us to the Internado, where we will be working with the local chicas y chicos. We are going to begin repairing the paint on the exterior of the dormitories, this is the kind of work that we will be doing for the first week seeing as the kids are currently on their winter break. We also will be preparing for workshops and creating activities for the kids later on. There is much anticipation in the air to meet all the children.
As for tonight, games and perhaps a run on the beach will be the finale for our group. Then we begin a whole new adventure tomorrow. We will be sure to keep you posted. Until then, goodnight.
