Trip report October 21 - 28

Hey Craig, muchísimas gracias for thinking of the needy schoolchildren. Wow! Lupita was overwhelmed by your kindness. She sends her gratitude. The reason she feels uncomfortable accepting money is because she doesn't know at the moment how it should be spent. Typically we save up donated school supplies until we have enough to share among an entire classroom at a minimum, and an entire grade level or even an entire rural school if possible, and it takes time to save up that many supplies. So it makes sense to spend it on supplies that will make it possible to fulfill one of those goals when she gets to a point where we have an idea what's still needed. She just doesn't want to disappoint you or the kids.

And so glad to hear you had a good time! Taxis are especially a ripoff in Ixtapa and it's about to get worse. They're about to raise their rates again.

¡Saludos!
