Check out the following from Sonia on the groups adventures in San Luis Obispo for Independence Day. We were hosted by an amazing group at San Luis Obispo United Methodist Church. As a program unaffiliated with religion or the faith communities, it continually amazes us the support we are shown from phenomenal groups like this one!

4th of July in San Luis Obispo
Happy 4th of July! We had an off day today in SLO and the team woke up at around 10:15 AM for a group meeting. We had some conversation about the people we have met and talked to about Microcredit and it was nice to hear how each person has had different experiences interacting with people along the route. Afterwards, we were free to do whatever we wanted and most people headed out to explore the city a bit and then went to Adam’s friend Micah’s barbeque. Emma, Alain, Phillipe, Jess, Tom and I went to some swing dancing celebrations in the city- so much fun! I’m not much of a dancer, but it was great making up our own moves and learning some new ones from Alain. We were definitely some of the only people dancing, but what can I say, Agents create a spectacle everywhere they go!
After dancing, we joined the rest of the crew at Micah’s barbeque and enjoyed some excellent burgers, nachos and salsa aaaaand some beverages. The best part of the day was stopping for frozen yogurt on the walk home- so good! The yogurt tasted like ice cream, you couldn’t tell the difference. But even better, there were a wide variety of toppings to put on the yogurt. I definitely loaded mine up with about ten different kind of toppings, including strawberries, white chocolate chips, chocolate bars and mixed nuts. San Luis Obispo is definitely a really cool town and it was nice to be able to take a break from riding and enjoy Independance Day.
