For only the third day since I've been coming down here, we didn't work because of rain. We started our day talking to Eduardo, the Esperanza Coordinator. After that we spent time knowing the other group sharing the Posada from USC. Eduardo said that they only have 18 groups scheduled to come this year. We are the first groups visiting in 2023.
We ate lunch at a local Chinese restaurant located just around the corner from the Posada. Portions were large and many of had take home containers.
This afternoon we went to Casa del Migrante which is a Migrant shelter. We didn't eat with the migrants being housed now due to COVID. We got to learn about the services that they provide to people who have been deported or have come there seeking shelter. I always feel overwhelmed when I go there to see how many people are in that situation with virtually no home and to not know about what their future holds.
We will probably go back to the taco stand tonight for dinner. Tomorrow we are going to Rosarito to poor cement with the USC group.
