June 1 Day 2

Needless to say everyone was pretty tired last night after the long travel day. Though there were a few that were still a little wired. The morning started with a great breakfast followed by our daily solitude time. Every morning this week students will be given the opportunity to spend 10-15 minutes just by themselves…

One Loooong Day

This may have been the longest day in Be2Live history. Wake up time in the 3 am hour and bed time at 10 pm. But it was a good day. After arriving in San Diego we divided into vans and headed south to Mexico. Our first stop was Tijuana Playas to see the border wall…

Every time we cross the border is an adventure, and this day was no exception. Typically crossing in 15 passenger vans the Mexico border…
