The faces of these new travelers on the ride to the city demonstrated their openness to this new experience. The tropical flowers dotted the landscape between roadside coconut stalls and the informal economy of the streets.
Moved by the testimony of Hermana Bernadettte, the group walked humbly though the Romero house and the chapel where he was assassinated. Prayers and lit candles marked our passing throughout this revered space.
Tonight we dine on rice and beans. We will prepare for our meetings with the NGOs tomorrow.
Student remarks regarding their experiences thus far:
'It is very hot.'
'Everyone is being very friendly'
Another student remarked that 'I don't feel like an outsider here.'
