In the Tex-Mex class this year we have studied issues related to the Mexican North American Border,the U.S.A.'s involvement in these matters, the unique ecosystems in Mexico that are found nowhere else on planet Earth, and of course learning to speak spanish. Among other creatures that have presented themselves in our path there is one that sticks out in all the rest. Stromatilites. Stromatilites are colonies of bacteria that have been present since the beginning of time. These colonies produce waste in the form of grains of sand, Over millions of years this sand accumulates into rocks. The rocks are now quite sizable boulders which present themselves in many of the pools scattered around Cuatro Cienegas.
The class so far has been a fun learning experience that will countinue to exbound our minds in the art of learning. Jason S. Jason M. and Paula are all very good professor's. Overall this will be an exciting trip and I can't wait to start.
