After much anticipation we are finally all together in Chicago! Everyone arrived safely yesterday and we have spent the last day and a half bonding as a team and preparing for our time in Santa Cruz. Everything leads me to believe that this is an outstanding group of girls. There is a wide array of personalities but everyone meshes together well and seem to all be very down-to-earth and caring. This morning we went to church next door at the First Church of the Brethren and really enjoyed the small but energizing congregation. After spending more time discussing prep for the next few weeks we got out of the house and visited a beautiful conservatory and went downtown to the Millennium park. Tonight we're relaxing with a movie. Tomorrow's the big day of travel. We'll fly out of Chicago at 5:30 to Miami and then fly through the night down to Bolivia.
Here are a few pictures of our group!
