It’s not all work and no play. not all difficult and sad. We have a lot of fun.
We’ve had two dance parties. One outside at a park and one in our cafeteria with fairy lights and music. We had a special Valentine’s Day dinner of arepas (Venezuelan filled fried dough) with a game of La Lotería (bingo) afterwards. Prizes of chocolates and 5 1-dollar bills! The excitement was palpable!
I’ve also gotten out for some hikes in Franklin Mountain State Park (El Paso) and Dripping Springs and Aguirre Springs (NM). The weather has gotten colder but usually the sun is still shining for most of the day.
This week we went on a community day. The volunteers who are here all go out together, getting a community volunteer to come and do the house duties. Four of us headed out to Three Rivers Petroglyph Site. On the way we stopped at to see the World's Largest Pistachio statue. And then a short walk til we were surrounded by petroglyphs under the Sierra Blanco mountain. It was so quiet there and absolutely breathtaking. A lovely day away.
