Last night

I went to the Mission for the first time at night, last night. I know I've written about what the mission is like during the day, but at night, the main difference is that on every empty space of cement under a roof, people are sleeping on thin mattresses, packed so tightly together that they overlap. As I've said before, the conditions here are like something you would see in a picture, but not in real life...it's amazing what the people consider a normal standard of living here.
