Another week…
Another week has passed by ever so quickly. I went to Puerto Vallarta with a friend from Morelia last weekend. It was amazing. We explored the beaches, snorkeled, hiked up a mountain to see the waterfall. The interesting thing about this waterfall is that many Puerto Vallartans take pride in it and promote it to... Read More
Life as a Mexican, from an American Perspective
I have almost completed my third week in Mexico. I love it here! Let me begin with a little bit about the environment and activities outside the workplace. Bus: I live a bit far from the American Chamber of Commerce, so I struggle with the bus rides every day. It’s not that the distance bothers... Read More
My last post
This was my last week in Granada. I will be flying home shortly and have just finished my finals; it is such a bittersweet feeling. On one hand I am very excited to get home and see all my friends and family but I will really miss the friends and life I have come to... Read More

Esto sólo se vive una ves (You only live this once)
I left for my study abroad experience in Santiago, Chile on July 24, 2007 with hundreds of emotions/thoughts running through my head, seriously considering canceling my trip after my first layover in Dallas. I knew I was going to be gone for a long time and I was going to miss my family. On top... Read More

This past weekend I attended a one day overnight trip to Seville (North of Granada) with my program. The city was over run with flowers that filled the air with the most amazing smells. We were fortunate the weather was absolutely perfect because most of the things to do in Seville were outside. I quickly... Read More
