It’s my last day in “the D.” I’m actually pretty sad about it. I really had a great time here and feel that the trip was just too short. I didn’t realize that in such a short time I could become endeared to so many people.

I started off the day sleeping in, of course. Rosa and I watch some TV and talked about LTA stuff. Something I am very happy about is that I was able to spend time with her and Sarah because they were happy to provide some insight about what their lives were like when they were in my shoes. It really put a lot of things in perspective for me. I admire their dedication to our organization and hope to contribute as much as they do. I got a lot of insight from Teresa as well. Those three are really special ladies and I am very thankful for having the pleasure of meeting them.

Anyway, Teresa sent me a text message telling me that she was picking me up in about two hours and that we were going to be eating dinner at Mi Pueblo with a bunch of brothers and other sisters. I hopped in the shower, did my hair, and got dressed (that is, after I took a nap because Rosana’s couch is AMAZING). Less than about ten minutes later Teresa popped up at the door and we were off to Mi Pueblo.

Over at Mi Pueblo I had three delicious tostadas and washed them down with sangria flavored Jarritos… mmmmm! I was able to share this nice dinner with Tere and Jose as well as Jose’s line brother Adonis, a brother named Nestor, Erick (BE Chapter), Maria, and Beverley (Beta Omega). A little later on Orlando came by, although it didn’t seem like it because he was quiet the whole time. Haha I guess he was really hungry because he devoured his meal. I’m not sure what it was but it was something with shrimp… lots and lots

of shrimp. Overall it was a very nice dinner and must say that Detroit left a very, very good impression on me and I recommend going to anyone who is part of Lambda Fam who wants a great time! It came up during dinner conversation about painting the rock at Wayne State. In a matter of about fifteen minutes we made plans to meet up at Wal Mart and buy spray and meet at the rock. How exciting!
After dinner we took a few pictures and road off to Wal Mart! Spray paint and cardboard was bought and we headed to Wayne State. Unfortunately, there was a little bump in the road. Adonis got a flat tire! Teresa, Maria, and I went and got the guys

and packed up Teresa’s car as if we were a bunch of clowns in a tiny circus car! Imagine that driving in the front was Teresa, passenger seat was Jose, and in the back, crammed like sardines, are Maria, Adonis, Mario (Adonis and Jose’s LB), and I. Haha.
We made it to Wayne State and walked over to the rock. Orlando met us up there. I

cut out the stencils, Jose took photos, and pretty much everyone else painted. It was a blast! When we finished, we stood in front of the thing and just stared at it for like TWO HOURS! We started acting silly and Tere and I climbed one of the trees because we’re lame

like that. When we were about to leave, Orlando wanted to wrap it all up by saying “Any final thoughts?” very Jerry Springer style. Not more than a minute after he said this, we all her CH-CH-

CH-SHHHHHH. The sprinklers came on and we all started running! Oh what a night! Teresa took me back to her place and I chilled with her, her boyfriend, and Orlando came by and hung out for a bit.

Tomorrow I’m going back home. Oh Motor City, you will never be far from my heart.
