Day 8: Kino Bay

Day 8, by Sarita Krugman

On our 8th day, we drove down to Kino. The car ride was long and stuffy in the vans but it was worth driving, to have a relaxing time off from everything and just lay around. We didn’t do much besides do laundry, eat, relax and go to the beach. It was great waking up late and soaking up the sun. The sun was amazing. The warmth ran through our blood. The whole class seemed calmer with hot showers and clean clothes. Later in the afternoon we went out to dinner and ate good food.


Careless time passes by
Without a doubt I wish for the best
Hopeless hopes wonders while I dream for the best
Struggles seem to harsh to our American lives
But look at our people, the less they have the more they are willing to share with others even strangers
We choose
We make decisions
We regret
We forget that we have a lie worth living for

From what I’ve seen in Mexico, I’ve realized that many of us in America don’t see how we are privileged to live the life we live now. We get distracted and become selfish. Hopefully things will change while time passes by.



Blog day 8, Harrison Chase

After such a relaxing day, we decided to meet as a group to go over what we were doing the next day, but just as we started the meeting there was a loud crash. Immediately Andy and others ran outside to see what had happened. What happened was that a car with three adults and a child were pulling out of a corner store parking lot and they were struck by another car speeding by. People watching said that after the driver hit the car he threw a 40 out the window to avoid being found with alcohol and then he crashed into a pole. When I approached the crash to see what was happening there was a large group of people surrounding someone lying on the ground and a woman covering her face and crying. I instantly got a sick feeling in my stomach, the type of feeling when I know something wrong has happened. More and more people from our group were coming to see what had happened but I figured it would be a good idea to get everyone back to Prescott College so that Andy, who was helping the person laying on the ground, wouldn’t get overwhelmed with everyone surrounding him. After we walked back people who had gotten closer to the crash told us that the person on the ground was a little girl. Andy told us later that she had been thrown out the window when the car was hit and landed on the pavement. Andy also had said that she was unconscious when he got there but started to regain consciousness by the time he left and the EMTs took over. It was a pretty startling experience and it was one of those experiences where you really took into account how fast and drastically things can change especially when you drink and drive. It was a terrible experience but at the same time was a good pre'cursor to going to Carbo and reminded us that if anyone was drinking in Carbo that it would be a horrible idea to get in a car with them.
