ROAD TRIP

On Monday morning we left our homes in Canada.
On Saturday night we arrived at the orphanage.
In total, the trip took 6 days.

We spent one day in Texas so, we were only on the road for 5 days.
There was a large amount of time spent on the road.
Starting early in the morning and stopping late at night.
We became very familiar with June's van.

We were blessed with wonderful sleeping arrangements.
Although we struggled to find them at times, the hotels were always nice.
After a long day of driving, we really appreciated a place to rest.

Our time on the road was crazy to say the least.
We had our share of obstacles.
Driving through busy cities at night, making wrong turns, getting tired...
At the same time, we had a lot of fun.
We would sing, tell stories, and laugh together.

I learned a lot about my travel companions on this trip south.
You sure can learn a lot when you are together non-stop for 5 days.
It is a pretty cool experience.

My Firsts:
*driving for 7 hours straight
*driving in the United States
*eating nachos from Oxxo convenience
... many more

What a great experience!
A road trip from Canada to Mexico.
