Hello Mexico!

Last Monday we headed to Tijuana, Mexico. To many, this would not be a big deal. But for me, it was! I had not traveled outside of the U.S. since I arrived to this country 20 years ago! That's a long time if you ask me. So Enoch, Athena and I went on a Monday morning and drove to Mexico. We stopped by one of the beaches first, where we had  a nice lunch in a restaurant with an ocean view.

We ate seafood of course, and to top it off we drank coco juice. Yum!!

Later we headed to the city where we shopped around and got on some rides. We had a blast getting on ride in the restaurant where we had dinner. If I could sum up how it went, I would say it went great! I didn't expect to have such a good time. It was just so much fun to go away.

The End of Poverty?

"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."-Martin Luther King, Jr.
This last Saturday Enoch, his sister Athena and I went to see a movie in Santa Monica that touched us like no other movies we've seen. To me, this movie had new information but, it didn't surprise me. I come from a very humble country and so this movie was only a visual representation of what people who are living in my country go through each and every day. I won't spoil the movie, but I do highly recommend everyone to see it since it brings to light many issues that affect people in this world. A reason why I love Enoch is because he is not selfish and always thinks of others before himself. He gives service without thinking twice. I thought this movie encourages us to not be selfish , it makes us realize how blessed we are and our responsability as human beings to help one another. It helped us to put in perspective whats really important in life.
