Amy here. Its a beautiful Sunday morning, the sun is shining and birds singing, which feels like a rather distant memory because of Ohio's long winter.  Everything has gone really well so far and crossing the border was much easier than I had anticipated.  Once we arrived to Esperanza, we spent much of the after noon getting to know each other.  The patio is perfect for gathering and I anticipate we will much our time there. Half of our group has been here the other half has not, all are definitely excited to be here and meet the families we will be serving.  Most of the group went to grocery store, and came back with fun things we can't find in Ohio. After we went to dinner, we are definitely eating well well so far.  By the time 8pm (10pm our time) came along and the group after a long day of traveling everyone was showing signs of the long day of traveling and our 3am wake up.  The students are just beginning to wake up now, and we will be well rested for the work to come tomorrow.  Today we have a full day of seeing beautiful Tijuana.  But first we drink coffee.
