Work like a local

Today we tried to stay on top of things, and for the most part, we did. Today was the sole laundry day of our trip, which we got taken care of before then heading to breakfast. Straight afterward, we walked a couple blocks away to Mercado San Alfonso where we were able to help the vendors there organize their stands. We helped by preparing fruits and vegetables and cleaning up multiple products. At the end, we said thanks to the vendors with gift bags and words of appreciation. We closed the day with a nightly meeting and learned how privileged we are and still unhappy while people who tend to have less seem to live in a more supportive community with family being the foundation.
