Day 5: Sand Dunes
Hey everyone! We just finished our fifth full day and we had a lot of exciting activities in our itinerary today. We started off the morning in our kitchen with local activist, Carmen Hernandez, who taught us her traditional recipe for her homemade gorditas. We mixed and shaped the dough with our hands and then filled them with meat, potatoes, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Then, we drove out to White Sands National Park. The views of the sand dunes were breathtaking and they looked like something out of a movie. We all bonded over sledding down the dunes and watching the sun set over the landscape. Needless to say, sand got EVERYWHERE.
It was a crazy day both physically and emotionally. We can't wait to see what is in store for tomorrow during our last day of programming.
