Thursday 8th August
Chris paid the guy at the hotel to keep two of our bags there so we didn’t have to take them to Mexico. There were no checks at the border and we were able to drive straight through. We headed to Ensenada to meet up with Josh and Selina from YWAM who was going to show us around the base where Danika will be staying from September 19th. We didn’t have internet so had to stop and ask several times for directions and realised that Danika really needs to brush up on her Spanish as not many of the locals spoke English. We met the leaders of the course Danika is doing and they invited us to come back tonight as they had a youth worship event where they were grateful that Danika could take photos for them. It was great to see where Danika would be staying. They have new buildings that are nearly finished which will improve the facilities. There is also a top of the roof chill out, sofa area which is cool. When Danika said she didn’t like country music, Josh assured her there would be none there.
Selina recommended a place for Tacos so we got some and headed to the beach. There were guys playing music and dancing. It was a very cool atmosphere, and you really felt like you were in Mexico.
Went back to YWAM base to join in with worship (last night of youth camp at the base) – Danika took photos for them. It was awesome to see the team we had met, lead worship and many of the songs we knew.
At the end of the night, someone played a joke and played ‘Country Road’ and ‘Thank God, I’m a Country Boy’ which burst her bubble just a little!
We went back to our Airbnb – which we named Barbie’s dream house.
