... us a standing ovation. How awesome is that! <br><br>I don't know what it was about that afternoon but it was one of my favorite community impact days so far.

Maybe it was watching seeing a member of our cast make a connection with the 80+ year old woman in the wheelchair. Maybe it was the way that each person acted with compassion and joy as they spun around with their "grandparent ...

... to say good-bye to the cast.<br><br>It was really hard to say good-bye to them (even though it's only for 2 weeks) because we've made some great connections and bonded so fast.

Armando from Mexico City works as a public relations representative for UWP. Wei, a cast ...

... de Navidad in the state of Jalisco. Curiously enough this expensive rich place is completely invaded by Canadians! There are a couple hotels on an island where a night costs USD 600, so there must be some money in this town. We can't believe that our aged Canadian neighbours make more noise than the students at the beach staying up drinking and chatting. We feel like old conservative people when we change rooms so we can have our beauty sleep, but indeed we need it every night : ) In ...

... the steep hills of the village, I could not find one decent viewpoint - the only thing I got a good view of was the flasher who popped out of the bushes surrounding the municipal football pitch when I went there for an uninterrupted, though long, shot of the volcano. He was still lurking there with his pants down as I waited for the bus out of there - sadly, the police never happened by, in all that long wait. Comala was disappointing too - a pretty enough ...

We met Meric, who had driven down from Arizona and came into our lives at the entrance to the Magic Beach. Meric is one of us, on the same wave length, leaving the US for the same reasons and not to return.  his destination is the same as ours: Buenos Aires.  It was a beautiful thing ...

... for Veracruz, and although he was out on injury, he managed to hang out and buy us breakfast. Aside from our brief brush with fame, Tony and I had a great time exploring the port of Veracruz and chilling with the Alarcon family; muy buena gente (dems good people). We spent most of the time seeing the land that Cortez built and trying every classic Mexican dish.
