Friday's Mission Trip

Hi it's Brynne!

Today we woke up earlier than usual so we didn't have to be out in the sweltering heat as much. Luckily there was an overcast so the sun was not a problem. The entire week our group has been getting the work done much faster than expected and this morning was no different. We finished the roof before lunch time which concluded our work on the home.

For lunch we had the traditional dish of Campeche, I don't recall what it's called but it is fish and it was delicious. On our way back to the hotel we had our driver "Alberto" stop at a road side store which was full of cheaper items than in the city.

Oh! I also forgot on our way back from the work site we were pulled aside by the Mexican police which is routine here I've discovered so it wasn't a big deal. Anyways by the end of it as we drove off one of the men referred to us as amigos.. so now I'm friends with the Mexican police.

Since we had extra time some of us went shopping, then we had dinner even though most of us are so full constantly that we never want to eat but it's so delicious you can't help it. After that we went to a light show which was sort of a history lesson about Campeche and some of the culture here. That's basically the day sooo goodnight.
