Day 8-A place you've traveled to

I'm such a loser. I can count on two hands how many states I've been to (not including the states that I have driven through). I've been to Virgina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Vermont, Texas and of course Maryland.
Driving, I have not been west of West Virginia. Sad I know!

In 2003, I went on a missions trip to Mexico with my church. I really wish I had pictures uploaded to my computer. I only have some pictures in a scrapbook. (My first attempt to scrapbook. It's pretty pathetic!) It was amazing. We went with a group called Global Expeditions. They are some AMAZING people. I learned so much from them. We went into a place right over the border called Nuevo Lorado. It was probably the most poverty filled place I have been. Buildings with no doors, people living in vans on the side of the road. The children were so dirty like they have not taken a shower or bath in a month. It really was a humbling experience. My outlook on life really changed after I came home.
If I could go back and do it over again, I would in a heart beat!
