Bienvenidos!!

Welcome to our blog as we share about our special journey, sponsored by the wonderful folks at Fulbright. We will be visiting Mexico from June 9th to July 7th, 2012. Our group includes 7 practicing teachers, 7 undergraduates (soon-to-be teachers), and two teacher education faculty. Along with my brave bilingual scholar, Maria Zamudio, we will lead the group as we spend 4 weeks in south-central Mexico. We will be learning about the Mexican educational system along with important social, political, and historical issues in Mexico.

The majority of our time will be spent in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. All of the participants will be living with host families and taking Spanish language classes at CETLALIC, a spectacular language school in Cuernavaca. We will also be taking trips to the following cities: Taxco, Tepoztlan, Puebla, and Mexico City.

Welcome to Puebla!!

Today we got to spend the day exploring the beautiful city of Puebla!  After breakfast we went to visit an archaeological site by the name of Cholula.  We visited two very beautiful churches!  We had a tour guide that taught us a lot about the indigenous people and history.  After lunch at a fantastic restaurant we got free time!  Susanna, Melanie, and I, explored a little and relaxed in our beautiful hotel.  Our hotel in Puebla is a historical and has been a hotel since the 1930's.  The hotel is known for its excellent cuisine, and is recommended by almost every foreign tour guide.  We ate two meals at the hotel and both were delicious!  I had tacos with chicken soup and we also shared some guacamole. 


The room that Melanie, Susanna, and I had, had two beds on the main floor and had a little loft with another bed.  It was so cute!  We also had a balcony! Puebla was my favorite trip during my time in Mexico.  I loved the variety of people and the pretty zocalo.
