It^s been about 2 weeks since i last posted anything, and i`m now being hosted in La Paz, Mexico. I`ve been here for about 5 days already and have enjoyed every minute of it so far.
The beaches and the town are absolutely amazing. The only real downside to being here is just how freaking hot it is, don`t get me wrong hot weather is nice but when its 90+ every day with 30-40% humidity it`s not so fun.
I`m staying with an older couple, Alejandro and Lucia, who live about 30 minutes outside of La Paz. They speak very minimal english of which I am very happy about. All of the spanish that I learned and subsequently forgot following middle and high school is coming back allowing me to actually be able to communicate fairly well with them.
Since leaving staging a couple weeks ago i`ve had the unfortunate luck to only have participated in one CI (community impact) project. I spent about half a day on wednesday painting over grafitti in a local park and canal. Along with the painting we also cleaned up the park picking up trash and weeding. The man that was our liason with the local organization DIF( ill look up what it means and get back to you) was very appreciative of the painting we did due to the fact that it was going to be on the local news and should help to jumpstart the anti-grafitti campaign here.
Buenos Tardes
