What Will Things be Like There?:

While accommodations won't exactly be plush, life will be far from the primitive conditions you may have experienced if you have gone on other Baja California mission trips sponsored by less comfort-oriented organizations. 

LODGING: The Aqua Viva bunkhouse will sleep 16 to 18.  The ladies occupied it last year.   The gents occupied the tree house (It's a long story.)  Bathrooms with shower facilities are available.  Aqua Viva has accommodated groups of 20 without too much strain.  We will have to have an idea of the gender distribution before we can figure who will sleep where.  There is room to set up tents also if anyone prefers.  The Remnant Center is larger and delivers a higher comfort level with dormitories with beds for all and some separate accommodations for families.
.

FOOD:  We are required to act like good Presbyterians when it comes to food.  Look it up; it's in the Book of Order.  You can plan on eating like a pig.          The Webmaster is also the jefe de food at Aqua Viva and will make sure the food alone is worth the trip.  The Remnant Center has two excellent Mexican Christian women who will whip you up some of the best home cooked Mexican meals you will ever have.  There will be a mix of that and American food.

WEATHER:  Maneadero, being close to the coast, has weather  that is cooler than California's central valley in summer time.  You just have to live without air conditioning which, for a week, which has not been too much of a  sacrifice.  Temperatures will probably be in the mid to high 80's during the day and will cool off with light breezes in the evening.   San Vicente is in an inland valley and has temperatures similar to Modesto.
