Yesterday, I traveled back to Trujillo via the public bus. It was only $8 for a 6 hour trip. Pretty good deal. In fact, it´s amazing that they can turn a profit at that price. At each stop, vendors would come on the bus selling the following items.
- Apples
- Sodas
- Grapes
- Kitchen towels
- Coconut bread
- Homemade snacks
- Chips
- And...men´s underwear
That makes me laugh every time I think about it.

That's great. It would make me a bit wary about the bus driver's skills, though, if they sense a market for clean underwear :)

I'm so thankful that you made it home safely last night, Thad. Did the group from Goodwood make it there with no delays?
Let me take this opportunity to thank you and Rachel for all of the organization, hard work and preparation you did to make our team's trip a smooth one. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that the trip was a life-changing experience. I told Ricky that I need to set the AC here on 89 or higher now, as I am FREEZING anywhere that has AC!! A warm shower, I must admit, was nice last night, though...
I personally cannot wait to return!! I see why you guys love it so much in Trujillo. Reflecting back on all of those sweet children and their hugs smiles - wow. What a place. I keep thinking of South Carolina's license plates that say "Smiling Faces, Beautiful Places." I think that is a perfect slogan for Trujillo.
On to business, Rachel, here's what I have here:
