We arrange to stay in modest hotels during our time in Mexico. Usually the hotels in which we stay have meeting rooms for our use, as well as restaurants where we eat breakfast. Often, delegations spend the last night of their experience in a motel in Texas in order to avoid any possible travel problems going to the airport for our return. They prepare meals that we share with them and their neighbors. Money for food, paper goods, utensils, and drinks is sent ahead of us to the Mexican organizers who see to it that our hosts do not incur personal expense to feed us.
Food is simple and celebratory.
Rice and beans are usual with meals, as are flour tortillas. Soda is generally served as beverage. Our hosts are aware of health issues related to food and water and take great care to keep us well. Days are fully scheduled and can include meetings with workers or their allies involved with human rights, environmental problems, health issues, and labor law. We visit sites of environmental damage.
