La Paz, Mexico (August 16 - 25)

After only being able to spend 4 days in Breckinridge, Colorado...we spent the night at a local resort and departed at 3:30 am for the Denver International Airport. From Denver we flew to Cabo, Mexico where we loaded onto 2 buses and drove to La Paz, Mexico. We were brought to an absolutely beautiful resort where we had our allocation meeting and were able to meet our new host families. My roommate was Anika from Germany and our host parents were Humberto and Tere and we had a host brother Julian. Our host dad Humberto spoke a small amount of English so we were able to get by.

The slide show below is pictures of us meeting our host families...

We were fortunate to have two host family days in La Paz, as well as a decent amount of time to spend with our families. The slide show below is all pictures of Anika and myself with our host family.


The CI (community impact) project that I was able to take part in while we were in La Paz, was painting the outside of the Baseball Stadium that we performed at. The entire outside of the stadium was covered in grafitti and we painted it white!




Anike and I prepared dinner for the family one night...she made pasta and I made cookies!!!






One of the Mini Shows (BTS) that we did in La Paz was on a stage right in front of the water....we were performing as the sun was setting, it was absolutely amazing! Below is a slideshow of pictures from the show!
