Albuquerque

I am finally in the US again! It feels wonderful, but i am really going to miss Mexico. I have gained a lot of great experiences and memories from there. I am already having an incredible time here in ABQ with my advance team. Hans and Anna are so amazing. I have only been here for two days now and its very busy. Each day we always have so much that needs to be done, but our city is really coming along already! We have a lot of fun things in plan for the cast, but of course i can't write them on here because it would ruin the surprise! So i guess i'll have to tell everyone after this city is done! On Wednesday Neele, Hans, Anna and myself went to 3 different elementary schools and read to the students and told them about where we are from and about Up With People. They are so cute and would just raise their hand anytime we asked a question. It was really cool because we got to hang out with Miss New Mexico that morning for a little while.
Today was very busy though. Hans and i went to meet Dan from the ABQ journal and talked about an article he wanted to write and put in the journal. After that all four of us went to a recording studio to talk to them about media and what we want to put on the radio for the show. I found out that Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carey and Outkast have recorded there before. I thought that was pretty awesome.
Tomorrow will be a very long day. We will be at the New Mexico State fair working at a booth for uwp all day. After that i will be going with Hans to a school to teach children our sound of peace song in the show.
Thats all for now because i need to sleep.
goodnight!
