This afternoon after feeding the homeless, we had FREE TIME -- the only time we have a lot of free time scheduled on this trip -- below a couple of our youth are talking about what we did:
--------------------------------------
Hi this is Shannon. Today after handing out the lunches to the homeless most of us went to the Sacramento Zoo. It was pretty fun. It was really fun to go on the carousel and the train. We were kind of dissapointed because the zoo was really small and didn't have elephants or rhinos. We left the zoo early because we also wanted to go to old town Sacramento. In old town sacramento we went walked around and went into a T-shirt store first. We brought some post cards and looked around at all the T-shirts. Then we went into a little museum and there was a saddle that you could sit on and then press a black button and it would take a picture and it would look like you where riding a horse. Last we went to the old time photo shop where Alicia and Patsy took an old time photo with southern belle dresses on. It was really cute. Then we drove down to the concert at the park where we handed out the lunches to the homeless. The concert was fun. Shay, Alishia, and I brought matching tie die dresses. They are so cute. We also walked around, ate food, and had a good time. I really had fun today.
Hi this is Emily. Today, we went to feed the homeless at the Cesar Chavez Park in downtown. There were not as many as we had hoped there would be. We were told that there would concert there later so many of the homeless were somewhere else.
After lunch, Barb, Mandy, Jesse, and I went to Old Sacramento to see what it was like. We started walking down the street and looking in the little shops. The first shop we went into was a candy shop with all the coolest treats. Next, we went into a shirt shop and saw many that we would put with people we know. Later,we went on a carriage ride and learned that the original governor's house was built in the 1860's. We also went on an underground tour where we learned that Sacramento buildings and the roads had to be raised because of really bad flooding of the American River. We also learned that someone used flags to talk to captains of ships to get the best prices on whatever cargo was on the ship during the Gold Rush.
Jesse, Mandy and I also stepped in a Railroad museum and saw impressive engines. That was the end of my visit to the old city.
-----------------------------------------------
We're making sandwiches this morning to feed 120 homeless people at Cesar Chavez Park at 1130am today. Also with the sandwiches we'll also be packing granola bars and nice cold capri sun juices in their lunch sacks. Our youth are excited to be able to do this for the homeless here. (and before leaving on this trip - our youth fundraised money to pay for all these lunches! Way to go CUMC Youth!!!)
There will be more photos and updates from our youth later today.
