August 1

We arrived home this morning at 1:30am, into Salt Lake City. It has been almost 2 weeks since the last post, and it has been hectic trying to find time to get to the internet and post. It is surreal being home now, and it is hard to put into words the experiences and feelings that I had while I was on this trip. We finished up these last two weeks successfully and it was not easy saying goodbye to the students that we had been working with for the past five weeks. Looking back, I am grateful for this experience, and will never forget both the best and worst times that I faced. Here are some final pictures to sum up the past weeks events...

I'm not exactly how to sum everything up, but I do know that this trip was worth every bit, and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. We'll see if we return a year from now, or what other projects may stem from this one. I hope that I get to see the students sometime in the future. Also, I will be posting a documentary in a month or so. Until then...Gracias por leer!
