Basically, I am in love with this trip. Already, my Spanish is much better. My first day, I learned the words for glue, bats, and dragonflies, all words I plan on using on a daily basis. Today, my video group went to a little town called Capula to interview people about immigration. We got some good interviews, and I think our movie is going to be really powerful. Yesterday, we interviewed a woman whose son died trying to cross the border. It was incredibly sad, and I was amazed how kind she was to us, people from the country which created the laws that make immigration so difficult. She has no one to support her now that her son is gone, and her husband is sick. I am learning more every day about the importance of this topic.
I love my family. We watch a lot of soccer, and my sister plays the violin really well. It rains all the time here, and hails which is the most exciting thing in my life, since I´m used to Berkeley weather. Much love to everyone back in Berkeley,
