A bumpy flight couldn't squelch our excitment for Denver!!!
We arrived in Denver and had some time to kill before orientation, so we walked to a nearby park and marveled in Denver's beautiful summer weather.
Later that evening, we got settled into the church and met the other two youth groups we will be with this week. The other groups are from Arkansas & Michigan! During orientation we did a few games to get to know each other and the D.O.O.R. city director, Antonio Lucero, gave us an introduction to the neibhorhood and program.
Here are a few facts about Denver we learned:
2.5 million people residents
8 major sports teams
300+ days of sunshine each year
Lincoln Park and surrounding area (where we are staying and working) is one of the oldest neiborhoods in Denver and is beautifully diverse. 53% Latino, 30% Caucasian, & 14% African American.
