We're leaving on a jet plane...

After a relaxing day of frantic souvenir shopping and rain in La Paz, we are almost ready to hit the road for Cabo and the airport. All four tires are still full of air and on the van, the air conditioning is working, and everyone still has their passports. And while we are all sitting down for breakfast, we will leave you with a lesson learned from each of us...

Jerred: You can't always rely on hand motions to get the point across the language barrier.

Tatiana: Even though you may have said only two words to someone, they already love you and it's so easy to love them back.

Katy: Always travel with your best friend. Your back will always be covered, but not necessarily with sunscreen.

Cady: Pee really does help jelly fish stings... 

Vickie: After working 11 days in the hot sun, it will rain on your one day off.

Jaime: You can go two weeks without knowing the date when you are on Mexico time.

Ashley: You can form friendships even though you don't speak the same language.

Doug: The bottom half of a water bottle is not as easily disposed of as the top, and it's much more easily discarded in disarray.

Russ: I never met one Mexican person that wasn't kind, helpful or courteous.

Denise: You canhave a honeymoon in Mexico with 11 other people, and they are gracious when you're always late.

Arlene: One of our team members is trying to learn Spanish. He has taught us what to call our pets in Spanish. El doggie-o and la cata. Don't bother to look for these in your Spanish-English dictionary.

Diana: You can teach the Mexicans funny American phrases like "wiggety-wack" and "see you later, alligator".

Roger: It's really fun to share my friends with my friends.

Please pray for safe travels for the11 of us headed home to Chattaroy and Roger and Diana headed home to Ciudad Constitucion.

See you soon, baboon!
