IN EL SALVADOR!


Well, longest day ever but I am finally in EL SALVADOR. Sandra and Oscar picked Jess and I up and now we are at Sandra and Oscar's aunt's house for the night. Then off to EL POLVO to get started on our individual projects.


So Dennis dropped Jess and I to DCA.. I was getting stressed because of traffic, but if you know Dennis you would never doubt him getting us to the airport with time to spare!
This is the grapefruit that Jess and I ate inbetween flights... so delicious

So the first flight went flawlessly and the second was AWFUL. We had to wait foreverr
So.. needless to say, Jess and I were bored.. we read.. a lot.
and yawned a lot.. and then one and a half hours later after being in the airplane we took off! I also noticed that my hands are super dry... ew!

Now I am all homey and safe and happy! I will definitely post soooooooonish.. hope yall are well.. feel free to email me at alex.mritchie@gmail.com

hooray for arriving at my destination safely... sorry if this entry is not very coherent... I am tired.

Wait just a minute!

Might yall wanna know what the heck I am doing down in EL SALVADOR? Well, I am going with a community arts program called LA CAP which is short for Latin American Community Arts Project. http://www.lacapacidad.org/

I will hook up with the adjoining town's community health clinic and do some of my own functions as a community health nurse... does that explain it? If I think of anything else to add I will post it laterz.

BAGGAGE!




So now I am all ready to go... think I packed enough stuff???
(the flamingo will stay in Richmond)
I am gonna try my best to maintain this janx while I am in EL SALVADOR... don't hate if I am a lazy updater..









Rockin out with my man Joe, getting stuff prepared for my trip. He snapped this priceless pic of me... thanks.

Leaving tomorrow!

Hooray!!!
