Howdy y’all it’s your Global Glimpser, Tresha, here! Today was a free day where everyone was given the privilege to choose where they would like to go. For example, we can visit the plaza, museum, restaurants, and etc. This gave us the chance to further explore more of Leon and have an idea where everything is. We can use this knowledge for future reference for other free times. Our free day consisted a lot of traveling on foot so we were able to get good exercise in today! Some challenges we faced today were creating our own schedule of the day, dealing with the heat, and managing our time accordingly.
Here’s Alondra (Mom) leading the group like a champ:
We started off our day waking up later than usual at 8am and had breakfast at El Comedor. Throughout the day we were able to become our own El Lider Del Dia and scoped out more of Leon.
After lunch, Global Glimpse leader, Charlie, directed us to the plaza and entrusted us to be able to go out on our own around the plaza after setting up a rendezvous point. This gave us the chance to roam independently and allowed us to go exchange money and buy souvenirs. (Expect gifts!) The group as a whole was able to develop teamwork skills and time management skills.
We further honed our skills after we were given the map of the city and visited an ice cream parlor called, Kiss Me, and a supermarket called, La Union. At Kiss Me, we were able to try out exotic flavors such as dragonfruit, banana peanut butter fudge swirl, and espresso brownie. Everyone was psyched to head out to La Union because it’s air conditioned and we needed a break from the heat!
As leader of the day, today was quite challenging because we were given so much freedom and we wanted to fit in as many things into our day. I learned that because you’re leader of the day doesn’t mean everything is entirely your fault. We encountered many difficulties but was able to solve them as a team. I’m extremely proud of my delegation because they were all helpful and positive. We continue to grow closer and closer each day which makes us stronger for the hardships we are bound to face in the future of the trip.

LOVE YOU and can’t waiting for you see you. P.S don’t forget to use sunblock and take pick to share w/us…LOVE, Dad, Mom, Adrian and of course Daisy

Haley:
Today is July 4th, and America isn’t America without you. There’s an extreme lack of Uncle Sam pride in my life, and it’s because you’re not here! In honor of America, here are the first few lines from “The Star-Spangled Banner” (I expect Haley to sing this for all of you) :
“O say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
I miss you lots homie and can’t wait to see you when you get back!
Hi Katherine!
We’re glad to see you are having a good time and it seems like everyone enjoyed the free day. Can’t wait to hear about all your adventures and unique experiences when you get back!
Love, Allison & Jennifer.
That ice cream must have been delicious in the heat! Alice, we were so happy to get your call yesterday…so glad my phone was charged and I could hear it ring, not like usual 🙂 Can’t wait to hear what you guys were up to today.
*Happy 4th of July* everyone. SF Giant’s update. They beat Arizona and today they are back in SF and beat Colorado 3-1. Dad, Aleksys, Grandpa, Sra. Marina, Uncle Jeno, Paco, and I came to the Folsom Rodeo. Adan had to work. Tio David is in Honduras with Sophia. Grandpa say to “Say hi to la güera”. Hope your having fun. Que Dios la bendiga. Disfrute todo al maximo. Love you, Mom

Hi Tresha (boo), it’s your boo coming to you from Cancun sort of nearby. Lol you probably didn’t expect me to be in here, but why not. I’m glad you are able to hit me up whenever you can in those Internet cafes. I miss you so much that, you know, things happen to me as a result of not having you nearby. I see that you are able to get the group out of certain setbacks during your trip, but at the same time, you face your own personally (mosquitos should be wiped off the center of the earth). I hope everything will be fine, cuz I want you to come home happy and enlightened in a positive way. The rest of the group misses you, too. And it’s heartbreaking to know that you are missing out on 18 days of summer with us…oh whale I’m currently about to rest from my little adventure today. And at this point, I must depart for the time being. Good luck on the rest of your trip, be safe, and make the best of it. ILY BB!!
Yo Tresh, baby girl, miss you bunches. We wanted you to be here. We had a pool day without you, sorry. Remember to get me a rock. It better be smooth.
Hey tresha! It’s tam!!! Hope you’re doing alright over there. I was waiting for your blog to go up and David messaged the whole group a link to your blog so here I am! Be safe over there and come home in one piece. Philip misses you and I do too, not gonna fight with him… So he misses you more? Anyways, have fun on the rest of your trip and BE SAFE. I told you that already. I’m such a mom… Love you loads! Tell Tommy and Anthony I said hi (:
Damn Alondra, okay I see you, over there running the streets of Leon lol. You totally got this dude hope you’re learning tons and enjoying every second you’re having in Leon.
