And then, on Saturday morning, the trip officially began. We arose early in the morning on Saturday and were driven, by our wonderful drivers, to O´Hare airport in Chicago. We got to our flight smoothly, and we flew without any difficulty for three hours before arriving in Mexico City. Looking out the window, just before the plane landed, we could see Mexico city stretching to the horizon, as far as we could see. This was surprising to a lot of people who had never seen it before, as it was much bigger than I, at least, had expected. After the plane landed, we collected our baggage and were bussed to the place where we would be staying. The bus ride was roughly an hour long, and took us through Mexico city. We were able to get a look at some of Mexican culture as we drove by, and we saw some interesting things out the windows. After arriving, we were shown around by the Bishop Delgado, and we were given rooms in which to put our things. We spent the rest of the afternoon just getting used to our surroundings, or playing with a ball outdoors, or walking to the nearby Superama. (A Superama is a Mexican grocery store almost identical to the common or garden Pick-n-Save) For dinner we had a really good meal that included Guacamole, salad with fresh vegetables, some meat closely resembling beef jerky, fresh tortillas, and rice pudding. It was really good. Then, after a quick game of charades that included the entire group, we went upstairs to bed. Falling asleep was difficult for some, as it was extremely hot. But eventually, everyone did fall asleep. Day One ends HERE.
Day Two began with everyone waking up at 8 in time for breakfast, and a few individuals leaving at 8:30 to walk to the church where, in about 20 minutes, everyone else will be taxied. There is always an english service at 10, and a spanish service at 12. This week, our own Scott Stoner will be doing the english service, which I´m sure everyone is looking forward to.

That is everything until now
So goodbye
