So we made it. We are currently on a bus on the way to La Via. In the beginning of the trip, everyone was very talkative, but as we saw more of the impoverished areas, everyone has become very quiet. It's as if everyone realizes how fortunate we are, and sees the true scope.
The land is beautiful. There are mountains in the distance that just blend into the sky. The homes and city were very contradictory. There were some very well kept homes, but most had open walls and dirt floors.
If you looked down the sidestreets, the conditions looked even worse. I feel like that is what we will see when we work.
The people are very proud, they all wave and yell at the bus full of Gringos.
I am nervous for meeting my host family. I am trying to remember Spanish that may help me communicate, but I think I will just use a lot of body language.
