  • Aculpoco

    I went to Aculpoco this weekend, which was… Expensive It seems that the entire purpose of this excursion was to bleed us students dry of all our money. Meals were not included, day trips always had some kind of hidden charge, and everything in Aculpoco is EXPENSIVE. In defense, I will say that my $22…

  • Sobre eso….

    With 9 more days to remain in the country, I am finding Mexico to be a really cool place. Last week I changed families because my first family was never around to talk (which I now realize played a major role in my initial culture-shock woes.) You know how they say you don’t know a…

  • Poco a poco

    The days here have gotten a little easier. I talked with my professor and now I am down to 6 hours of class a day. It’s still a long day, but it’s much better than before. I now know to be more careful to get enough sleep. My days are pretty busy. I get up…

  • Mexico…

    I arrived safely in Mexico, and I am taking classes 8 hours a day. The classes are good, but I am very tired. I’m hoping I’ll have more energy and time to write next week or the week after. This week I was placed into one more class than I was planning on taking, and…

  • Back in Auburn

    I got back to Auburn last week, and from the outside perspective, I believe my life got a lot more boring, hence the lack of updates ;-) I’ve been spending my time cleaning my apartment and getting ready for a few days travel before my trip to Mexico. I’ll be leaving for Mexico on the…

  • Out on the town

    This Sunday and Monday, I finally made it out to see some of the tourist spots. Sunday, I took the Metro to the Hollywood Blvd/Highland Ave stop. As I was riding the escalator to street level, I heard loud music playing. Turns out a local B-Boy crew was laying it down on the Walk of…

  • Pictures

    I finally made it to the store and got a memory card for my camera. Here are the pictures I took on my flight to LA: I plan on taking more pictures in the day to come. I’m still getting over this freakin’ cold which is making me tired.

  • Liberation

    Today was a good day. I woke up in time to eat breakfast (a bowl of Cinnamon Toast crunch which I bought yesterday,) and then walked about 2 miles to Mass (at St. Patrick’s parish.) Mass was good, and different. There were no missals in the church; instead, all lyrics and responses were projected on…

  • ATL to LAX

    Today was a long day, getting up early to catch the flight to LA. The flight went smoothly despite departing a few minutes late. I arrived safely, found the shuttle, and got checked into my room. I’m pretty excited to be here, but also very tired. I managed to walk over a few blocks and…

  • First Post

    Hi all, thank you for coming to my blog to see what I have to say. It is my hope to write here (almost) every day this summer (2008) with my ideas and thoughts while I travel. The current plan is to be in LA from May 10th to June 10th, and then in Cuernavaca,…
