Day Five in Caravan

Friday, July 13th. Route: San Antonio to McAllen, Texas. Now the weather is hot and there is no escaping it. We arrived in McAllen in early afternoon. Here is where all of the caravans from around the country and Canada meet to organize all the of the aid gathered on the trips and to prepare for crossing the border on Tuesday. Dinner that night was delicious and so fun to be in the presence of all these new people, young and old. There is so much energy and good will. I am sad I will not be on this journey till the end. This is Ishmael who has been cooking for Pastors for Peace since it began 18 years ago. He is Cuban but hasn't been back. Many people have been working with Pastors for several years.
