Pretty sure that it's going to take me a while to talk about everything that happened during the time that I was there, so I am going to break it up into days.

Day 1, March 14

On our way, there were many things that caused delays. At the border, someone decided to say that we were working instead of touring which caused chaos. When it's volunteer work, it's not work because we're not getting paid, so we definitely don't have to pay any taxes to the Mexican government.

After we finally arrived at the Ranchito, our not so deluxe accommodations, we unloaded most of the trailor, and someone, who shall remain nameless (not myself), locked the keys in the trailor. All of our food was in the trailor, so it was a ton of fun looking for keys that were locked inside and then having to find someone to break a lock in town. Now, when I say that our accommodations weren't that nice, I mean it... I will clarify. The place we stayed in has a tin roof, which makes it tons of fun when it rains. Thankfully, it didn't this time, but when I was there 3 years ago, it did. There is just a room with about 10 bunkbeds. There are no matresses, so you just have to put your camping foam pad on it with your sleeping bag. Thankfully, you get so tired from the day that you can sleep on anything. It is still Mexico, so we were unable to flush the toiletpaper. With over 15 girls sharing one bathroom, it doesn't stay pleasant for that long.....

Yet, when I lay down to go to bed, I am anxious to get to the orphange in the morning and am so stoked that I'm here.
