| 27th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 28 - Veracruz and Boca del Rio Hi Karin, I have definitely thought about doing pen-pals for our school. The only problem so far has been that the school we visited is a middle school, and the other schools are out of session. But hopefully in the next cities I'll have a better chance of getting contacts. Also, I asked Ms. Pule about pen-pal information while she is in Argentina. Take care, Renato |
| 26th July 2007 Srta. Camacho | - From: Day 28 - Veracruz and Boca del Rio I have heard that Veracruz is a great place to visit. It is good to hear that you had an opportunity to meet with some students and teachers. It sounds like you had a good time getting to know them and being able to share cultural knowledge with each other. Have fun in Oaxaca, can't wait to read what comes next. |
| 25th July 2007 Karin | penpals - From: Day 28 - Veracruz and Boca del Rio You may have already thought of this, but maybe it would be fun if you found a class or a school that would like to be like a sister school or something with San Juan, if you think that would be appropriate, and the kids could communicate with a particular class and learn more about Mexican culture, etc...and vice versa. Have you visited any elementary schools yet? Have fun in Oaxaca. Love those city names! |
| 25th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 26 - De Xalapa a Veracruz Hi Karin, Thank you for taking time out of your day to read the entries. Once I get pictures loaded to a site, I really hope Xalapa looks like what you imagine. Hope your doing well and the kids are havig a great time on their trip. Take care, Sr. Reina |
| 24th July 2007 Karin | What a wonderful trip - From: Day 26 - De Xalapa a Veracruz Still enjoying all your entries. I can't believe you have time to keep up your blog, with all the things you are doing. Great descriptions and the town of Xalapa does sound worth visiting again. I can just picture it! |
| 21st July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 16 - Arrival in Fort McMurray Hi Ms. Camacho, I feel the same way. I had no idea how much of our energy comes from Canada. Also I completely agree with you on traveling. You can learn so much from it. Thanks for your comment! Take care, Sr. Reina |
| 18th July 2007 Isis | WOW! - From: Day 16 - Arrival in Fort McMurray It is hard for me to take in all the information that you are able to share here on your blog, I can't imagine all the information your brain is trying to retain. Well, I was very intrigued by the information about the oil. I had no idea the we had a source so close to us, I feel like we have always been taught to believe that it comes from overseas...its amazing what a trip or some research can teach you. |
| 18th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 3 in DC Hi Mike, Thank you for all of the information you guys gave me. It has been a huge benefit to have some idea of what to expect. I actually just got to Mexico City last night, and head to Puebla tomorrow. Send any suggestions for places to see. I will let Jacques and Jorge know you say hello. Take care, Renato |
| 18th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 9 - Quebecois Hi Karin, Sadly after three years of French in middle school and high school, my French is enough to ask for something to eat. At least I could get ice cream! As far as sending students to study, I think it would be a great place. However, I would definitely recommmend Quebec City over Montreal. Quebec City is like a small French town, and everything is in French. It would really force a student to speak French. Montreal, on the other hand, is a large cosmopolitan city where everyone speaks both English and French, so it would be easier to revert into English. Hope this helps. Take care, Sr. Reina |
| 16th July 2007 Mike Cody | Hope our information prepared you! - From: Day 3 in DC I was thinking back to the trip Kim and I took what a great time... say hello to Jaque and Jorge when do you get to Mexico? |
| 13th July 2007 Karin | Quebec - From: Day 9 - Quebecois Fascinating! Thanks for the insight into the laws there. I had no idea. Do you speak French? If not, I'm sure you have picked up quite a bit while you are there. Would that be a good place for an exchange student to go to learn French while in high school? |
| 13th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 10 - Arrival in MONTREAL Hi Karin, Thanks for your message. I wish that everyone could be here as well, and hope that my observations give some idea to the country and culture. Please tell Isabella adn Max to have great time in Germany and hope that they have a lot of fun! Also I think a blog would be a great idea. Best wishes, Sr. Reina |
| 13th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 7- Last day in Ottawa Hi Eve, Thanks for your message and well wishes. The traditional foods in Canada vary from region to region, but to give you an idea...In Quebec I had chicken baked in a pastry crust and served in a cream sauce. AS for dessert, in Quebec there were many things with maple on them. Take care, Ren |
| 12th July 2007 Isabella and Family | Thanks for taking us all along - From: Day 10 - Arrival in MONTREAL Wow, it feels like we're right there with you! Well, not quite, we are missing all the good food and the beautiful sights, but other than that...thanks for taking the time to share your trip with everyone. I'm sure it is not easy. We hope your vertigo is all gone. Isabella leaves next Tuesday for Germany and I wish she could do a blog...maybe I will try to set one up for her. That would be fun. Stay healthy and safe. I was in Montreal in 1976...can you believe it! That was a long time ago! Take care. Karin |
| 7th July 2007 Eve | Bonjour! - From: Day 7- Last day in Ottawa Hello, Ren!! Sorry about the Vertigo. Other than that, it sounds like you are enjoying your time there!! When you come back you must tell me what the traditional Canadian foods you ate were! We miss you in Cali!! |
| 6th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 3 in DC Hi Brinell, So it turns out that historically there were no Black Native Americans. One professor said that there was not a very large slave population as there was in the U.S. This could be a great topic to do further research on. Take care, Ren |
| 5th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: Day 6 - Ottawa Hola Yesenia, How`s Aaron doing? Well thank you for your comment. Things are well except I have vertigo, which I`ve never had and its making me feel dizzy at times. When I figure out how to post pictures I will do it. Also I think Fulbright is going to set up a link with photos on it, so I`ll be able to give you the link when I get it. Take care, Renato |
| 5th July 2007 Sr Reina | - From: CANADA DAY - Day 5 Ottawa Hi Melissa, Tell Myles I said thank you for thinking of me. I will post the picture in my classroom when we get back. As far as restaurants...well yesterday I went to an Aboriginal Restaurant where they served food such as buffalo, potato cakes, some local fish, and a rice pudding with wild rice. Tomorrow I will be going to a Quebecois restaurant here in Quebec City. I`ll let you know how it goes. Hope your having a great summer! Sr. Reina |
| 5th July 2007 Sr Reina | Native American Museum - From: Day 3 in DC Hi Brinell, I haven`t heard yet about Black Native Americans. However, I wil be going to the Museum of Civiliazation here in Quebec City tomorrow and my find some information. I will lwt you know if I find any. Thanks for you comments and questions! -Ren |
| 5th July 2007 Sr Reina | Isabella - From: CANADA DAY - Day 5 Ottawa Hola Isabella! Espero que estas bien y disfrutando tu verano. En este momento mi lugar favorito de Canada es la Ciudad de Quebec porque todos hablan en frances y en ingles, y se parece a Francia. No, todavia no he comprado nuevos zapatos, no se si tengo esapacio en mi maleta. Saludame a tu familia. Gracias por tu mensaje. Hasta luego, Sr. Reina |
| 3rd July 2007 Yesenia | - From: Day 6 - Ottawa Hey! Sounds like you've been really busy. One thing I thought about while reading your blog is how little we know about our neighbor to the north. As educators we must expend our practice to be able to educate our students in this growing world. I hope you get great info on bilingual ed while you're there. I'd also like to see pics if you took any. The museums sound great. |
| 3rd July 2007 Melissa | This is Great! - From: CANADA DAY - Day 5 Ottawa Hola Sr. Reina, we have been enjoying your travel blog. It sound like you are having a great time and will be bringing us lots of good info from this trip. I really want to know about the restaurants and the food. Myles and I found a street named after you "Via Reina". He insisted on taking a photograph to send you. Be safe. M Isas |
| 2nd July 2007 Isis Camacho | Canada Day - From: CANADA DAY - Day 5 Ottawa Renato- Sounds like you are learning a lot already from the few days you have been away. Don't forget to take pictures when you can. Take Care, Isis |
| 2nd July 2007 Brinell | NAMuseum - From: Day 3 in DC Any information about Black Native Americans at the Native American Museum or relations between persons of African-decsent and Native Americans before and after the African enslavement period in America? |
| 2nd July 2007 Brinell | PhD President - From: 2nd Day Hi Ren, I had no idea that Woodrow Wilson was the only president with a Ph.D. Thanks for that tidbit. I cannot wait to learn more from your travels. ENJOY! |
