Literally from 9 am to about 1 pm, I worked on one document at work today. My task was locate a map of Texas with all the counties in it, make it the appropriate size, and then highlight the counties that MHMR will serve. Now, this may sound like "light weight" to many of you, but believe me, it wasn't.
After consulting with four workers, I finally figured it out. When it was all said and done, the printed map of Texas was one of the most beautiful documents I had ever printed.
Later this evening, Sarah's supervisor, Ana who works for the FEMAP Foundation picked Laura and I up from UTEP to join her, Sarah and her family for dinner at their home. As we walked on every circular rock leading into the path of the entrance of their home, I could not help but wonder how the house would look like from the inside. As soon as we entered, all I could think of was the word "pueblo" to describe it. The house is full of old school furniture and room styles fused with modern tiles and windows. It was "the house" for an artist with paintings painted by Ana herself all over the home. It was colorful. It was homey. And the couple's 2 year old child, Camillo kept us laughing every moment with his craze for Toy Story.
Once we finished dinner (vegan pizza with no cheese which actually was not half bad), we all walked down to the end of the block to grab a sweet from the local bakery. I got a mango empenada and it was good. (Although I do prefer the guava flavored one). As I savored my desert, I enjoyed the coffee that was made for us and was ready to go home.
It was a great night. Spent with warm and kind people and it ended with the kiss on the cheek from an old romantic, Camillo.
