#1 Tex-mex blogger

I have always wanted to go to Mexico, among many other places, because why not just see what there is to see while you can, when you can. I am probably the most exited about meeting the people in Mexico, and testing my Spanish to the max!
I have never learned this much of a language in such little time,while simultaneously learning about culture,planning the trip, and keeping the group out of trouble.
For me homesickness is going to be a big problem,but I am hoping that I will have so much fun that I will be “distracted” or just forget ,for 18 days. Paula and both of the Jasons (stail and fresh) are going to be great trip leaders,and I cant wait to get on the road ....again.

Sincerely, Indigo

Tex-Mex trip

This Tex-Mex trip should be a blast. We have a great grope of staff and students. I am really exited to go to Mexico because I have never been. The thing am most exited about is the border patrol. I really want to see how people are treated on the border. So far we have studied immigration, border issues and we've looked at biological phenomenons in cuatrocienegas. I am really looking forward to the trip and I expect it to be quite enjoyable.

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.
