Adios Oakland, Hola Eronga

10:14 AM March 21 ...hopefully everyone is packing (or packed) and having a relaxing day before we red-eye it to Morelia (arriving at 3:00AM). We have checked and rechecked our to-do lists and are excited to get this adventure started. We will be flying with 4 -8th graders from another school that are also headed to El Molino so time to start getting to know each other.
Once we arrive in El Molino we will pick up the last member of our PDS crew...just in from Oaxaca! We even brought a PDS read-a-thon tee for her. It will feel great to all be together.
We just got an e-mail from Peter (the camp director) that we will be able to take it easy the first day and do local sight-seeing trips...nothing major. This will give everyone a chance to rest up for the workshops and sight seeing we will be doing throughout the week.
It is one hour later in Michoacan so again with the time change!!!The difference is this time you-all will not have to be the ones dragging these kiddos out of bed in the morning- we will. Not to worry...camp policy is an hour of excersize BEFORE breakfast each day to wake everyone up and get them ready to go, go , go!
We will be sharing the camp with students ranging in age from 1st grade through 6th from 2 schools in northern Mexico. When we get there we will post more info as soon as we can, until then- adios!
