Wahoo free day!!
Today on our free day we participants experience Easter Brooklyn Style. Participants Michael, Olivia, and Keegan headed to a local Catholic Church where they ended up speaking only Spanish. They said the style involved a lot of singing and dancing which was very different than their church back home. After Easter services, the group hit the subways for the first time and headed to the Brooklyn Bridge. We walked across Brooklyn bridge and ran into a fellow Mizzou student. We then headed to a Dunkin' Donuts to grab a quick coffee while there we met a man who just moved back to the City! After learning we were serving at the GMHC he said, "Actually my roommate and best friend from here both had HIV. One of them has lost a ton of weight and it's absolutely awful." How crazy it is to run into someone affected by AIDS and HIV just on the street! After Dunkin we headed to Times Square and looked around for awhile. Then we headed to Little Italy for dinner. The food was FANTASTIC!! We are excited to get out tomorrow and meet our service site!
Haylie is 21!!!
