This morning we went to a guest house (casa de huespedes), which was an extremely cheap hotel for immigrants who were about to cross the border, or have crossed and were deported. While we were there, we met with these seven people who were all cousins from Oaxaca and had just gotten deported the night before. It made an impact on most people to actually meet these immigrants face to face because their story was so touching.
After that, we prepared for our six hour car ride to Kino Bay where we would get some down time and chill at the beach. Once we arrived at the branch of Prescott College, everyone was so excited to see the beach that right away we all went down to water and played in the sand. Since we were staying at Prescott College we needed to learn the campus ground rules, so this “gnarly” dude named J.C showed us around and we all found him very goofy, especially Amir.
Later that night we all sat down in a candlelit circle to commend each other and reflect on our trip. Some of the students commended the teachers who had to drive and Andy commended those who did an extra home stay in Altar.
