Second Travel Day

This morning was an early start from our motel in San Diego, following a nice continental breakfast that even included a waffle maker. It was a relatively short drive to the border, where we declared the medical supplies and applied for tourist visas. There weren't very many people going through, and the border guards were actually quite friendly.

Driving through the cities in Mexico was occasionally hair-raising, but without incident. We also stopped briefly at a beach to take some photos and dip our feet in the ocean.

Back in the vans we travelled on all types of roads, from smooth asphalt to off-road construction detours. The scenery was beautiful, though.

On the way we stopped at a touristy market (Bufadora) for some souvenirs and lunch.

When we were nearing Vicente Guerrero we stopped for gas, and ran into Edgardo as he was on his way up to Encinada with his brother and a friend.

Arriving at the Mission, we took some photos then checked into our rooms (one for the boys, one for the girls). Then we went out for supper and tried unsuccessfully to access the Internet at the nearby cafe.

As I write this we're sitting in the common area waiting for our 8:30 orientation meeting.

The team has been great to travel with, and everyone has been getting along very well.
