We finally made it to the Center last night at 3:30 am. Our flight from Miami to Quito was delayed three hours because of bad weather. Two volunteer coordinators picked us up at the airport and Vincente (our driver from the 2010 trip) was our driver again. Got all our stuff loaded on the bus, drove us and dropped us off at the center. Sheila and judy met us and gave us our room assignments. The house is crowded this year, there are 90 volunteers her e now. So we've had to double up. Maria is rooming with 3 other ladies, as am I. All five boys are rooming together, Lena and Maggie have 2 other roommates and Fr. Craig has his own room.
When we arrived last night, Maria and I sent everyone to bed, then crashed on the couch in the living room. We didn't feel comfortable barging in on our roommates at that time in the monring! We actually got a decent amount of sleep on the couches, so that was good.
Today is a free day after our 11am orientation (in just a few minutes). We'll do a walking your to get acclimated to the center. More later!
