I want to go here again or somewhere close to the U.S. border where I could drive in with a small team to help out an orphanage in whatever way they would need us.

I’ve been to Mexico twice. To the Baja area and to Tijuana. Big differences in the two. Both times on Mission trips but Baja was definately more comfortable accomadations.

I went to TJ last time I was there. I went with my family and too many Jr. Highers and some other adults.

We went to help clear a lot to help a local church build there. It was in a barrio. We had some drama on the trip with some high maintenance Jr High girls, who probably shouldn’t have come. That was kind of wearing. We also had some high maintenance women who shouldn’t have come.

This experience obviously wasn’t my best. I’d like to go back with a small team and focus on supporting a local orphanage. I can rough it accomadation wise if my team is a peace with each other.

Paul and I went to a convention in D.C. along with visiting our nephew. But we took extra days for ourselves, which we really enjoyed. It was blazin’ hot but we walked a lot to all the sites. It just so fun to have some much needed to time together. He was patient as I throughly enjoyed the National Art Museum.

I didn’t like the Air and Space Museum much…kind of boring to me and it was really crowded.

I do wish the city would spend more money on maintaining the Mall area. The grass and walk ways are kind of dirty and beat up for me a center of tourism and our national museums.
