community and laundry

Today, I got to spend the morning with my new friend Pepe, and then I got to spend an amazing afternoon with my new friend Ali. She took me to this adorable place to eat in Merida, and we had such a good time just talking and hanging out. It was an afternoon of feeling fully alive, and I was so thankful for those moments of fellowship. It reminded me of why I so appreciate and value community.

Then, I went walking through the city (by myself!) to pick up my laundry. It was so much fun. I so wish that I knew more Spanish, because I think it would have been more enjoyable. But there is still something invigorating about making it through a place that is unfamiliar without getting lost.

This trip has been amazing.
