May 25th - Flying, flying, flying

Hello All! I hope you are in for another fun adventure. This time in Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico! Today was a day filled with... you guessed it.... flying! From Utah to New York, New York to Mexico City, and Mexico City to Oaxaca! I am here with a wonderful host family who fed me immediately after arriving and then told me to get some sleep. (I politely asked if I could first use their computer. They said yes.) For all of you who plan to travel in the future I have a fun fact. At the first point of entry to a country you have to pick up your baggage and take it through customs. This means you have to take it off the conveyor belt, make it through customs, and then place it on another conveyer belt so that it will go to your final destination. If you fail to take these steps they will send your luggage back to the United States. (Thankfully, I did not have to experience this first hand.) If you can manage it, it is much easier to have your final destination be your first point of entry. This should be an exciting adventure that all starts tomorrow!

 These are the flowers I was given by my host family when they greeted me at the airport.
