California Immigration: Day 5

 Day 5 by Jo and Kareena:

To finish off the amazing journey that we had in San Diego we were all able to have a chill yet reflective day. At the beginning of our day we met with an artist named Carlos, who is a photographer but also makes films. He was able to tell us about his family and the places that he has been through his exhibit. Carlos talked about his experience with immigration, and the future impact that we need to make as the next generation. He was able to reflect like many of the other people that we were fortunate to meet. This was something that sat with us because we were able to indulge in the beautiful photographs. After looking through the art, we were able to visit Coronado. This was an amazing beach and a flourishing town with many shops. Coronado was a great way to finish out our last day in San Diego. We were also able to learn a lot about marine life through the sting of stingray. At dinner, we were all able to have some local tacos with vibrant music. We all talked about this past week reflecting on the experiences we had and the people we met. Many of us commented on the bonding time that the group had together. We all agreed that this was an experience that was perfect for the group we had. All of us are very grateful for the access to this opportunity and we will keep this experience with us forever. To end the night we all went on a chilly beach walk to soak in the last few hours of San Diego.
