Besides sweating to death, this is an amzing exeprience. Yesterday there was a huge march (protest thing) to kick off the start to World Social Forum. There was anti-USA stuff everywhere and it made me feel at home :) It was the first time for most of us here to march as Methodists together. I am kind of really proud that my church is supporting this event enough to send us all down here. Usually the church is left out of international affairs but not my church. I am really grateful for this experience. The world will live in, in the US, is soo different. We have no idea the effects that our policies really have on other countries. But when you talk to someone who sees dead bodies in the streets everyday or has their family lose their business due to free trade policies, you realize what our government is doing. I need more time to digest and filter through my thoughts. But I promise to keep you all posted.
