We made it safely to McKinney, TX tonight around 7 PM after a successful 10 hour drive. We mostly slept during the drive, partly because graduate students never get the opportunity to sleep and partly because Kelsey wanted to listen to Serial.
The Samaritan Inn, the organization we'll be serving with this week, has a transitional housing complex called Gateway. We're staying in two of the apartments that they're getting ready to renovate. They're completely empty but absolutely beautiful - nicer than all of our apartments back home. We unpacked our stuff, made a Walmart run, and then made a big stirfry. Then we played Cards Against Humanity. Most of the laughter came from trying to explain different words and phrases to each other, because we're all from really different backgrounds and no one knew what anything meant.
We're excited for our free day tomorrow! Follow us on Twitter at @MAB_McKinney for pictures!
