It’s been a long day! We got to school at 5:30am this morning and were driven to JFK by Roman and Roy (Thank you so much).

Our plane departed New York around 12:30pm and we landed in Puerto Rico around 4:00pm. Randall from Global Works met us at the airport and led us to the guaguas (vans) that would take us to the big yellow house, which will be our home for the next several days. Once we arrived, we settled in and hung out for a bit before eating a delicious dinner of roast chicken, plantains, tostones, salad and rolls. After dinner, we talked about rules for the trip and developed a community contract. Then some of us played soccer in the rain while others relaxed around the big table outside. Tomorrow we head into Old San Juan for the day.
