The day started off early with 7 of us waking up at 5 am to walk through the city. It was amazing to watch the city come to life as the locals went to work and school. After a long walk we found ourselves standing at the top of Cerro de la Cruz.
After taking many photos, we ended up sitting under the cross as a group, side by side. This to me was one of the most peaceful and great moment I've had thus far. Here we were looking out on this beautiful city we had grown to love as the sun was beginning to rise. This city has impacted us so much already, and at this moment not only did I grow closer to my group, but also it made me realize how much I want to help impact this city and the surrounding areas. - Michelle Bakker
