Yesterday after walking around downtown El Paso I relaxed a bit and then went to a capoeira group with Dunya, another volunteer who is the house coordinator at A. House. It was really fun and intense, but now I am pretty sore.
We just got back from a driving tour of different social service organizations in the area and at the end we stopped by Mercado Mayapan in downtown El Paso. Mercado Mayapan is a market and museum run by women who used to work in the (once) thriving denim maquiladoras in El Paso before they moved to Juarez.... I got 8 perfect oranges (for $1!) which I am pretty excited about eating.
Pretty soon we are heading over to Casa Vides, Annunciation House's sister house which is used for longer-term family stays. We will be spending the night there and getting acquainted with how things run over there.
