Day 12
1) a busy hotel gym morning! elliptical time for me
2) my roommate has put me onto the 100 pushup challenge, so we try to do 100 pushups every day, usually over the course of the day, ie 20 in the morning, 20 before lunch, 20 afternoon, etc
3) super rainy day today!!
4) visited gilliams community garden to do a work day and got very wet! mulching and weeding
5) it was nice to have a site visit that was so hands on, even though we talked way less and learned less about the organizations goals/mission/practices etc, it was good to get our hands dirty!
6) lunch was amazing trinidad food catered from a local vendor, we had doubles, which is fry bread with curried chickpeas, cilantro sauce, tamarind sauce, and spicy sauce and some cucumber! and then a sweet carrot cake like tamale. super yummy, possibly my favorite meal so far on this trip
7) the afternoon was a talk on travel and privilege. really glad we had this chat and will continue to have it
8) useful to think about positionality as relational rather than essential
9) word of the day: heart
10) dinner with some IHP alumni at a local mexican restaurant! i had fish tacos. talking to them makes me feel even more excited and grateful to be having this experience! truly it feels really special, not just because of the things we'll do but bc of the people and the intentionality and critical thinking
i have been taking some photos but they dont seem to be uploading automatically to my computer, so youll get them later, sorry!
