I have a great and inspiring time traveling with Brent and Alejandro. It is my first trip without my family. They took care of all the traveling details and arrangement. It was a large group, but, I was able to join a small group that travelled with my speed. The food was great. But, the weather was very warm. We visited many local churches and attended daily Mass. The only regret was I overpacked my luggage.
