Antigua, my last days

I'm back in the U.S. now, safe and sound. Guatemala has surely added to my education of our world. What a beautiful country. I had the privilege of meeting some wonderful people from all over the world as well. It won't be an experience I'll soon forget.

A Tradition:
Birthdays are a big deal down here. They like everyone to know that someone is having a birthday by setting off firecrackers... at 5:30 IN THE MORNING! Our neighbor had a birthday a few days after I arrived. Then a couple of houses over, they had a birthday too. You could hear firecrackers going off practically everyday. Sometimes they used bigger fireworks. When I first arrived, I thought people were shooting guns in the streets.

2010- I'm visiting Cuernavaca, Mexico, for six weeks with the "Partners in Education 2010 Fulbright-Hays Groups Abroad" program. Thanks to Dr. Colleen Ebacher and Dr. Ronn Pineo from Towson University, Towson, MD, USA, 16 teachers will be experiencing and learning about Mexican social, economic, and cultural issues. We have a very busy schedule, listening to many lectures, often going until 8 at night. And over the six-week period we will be visiting dozens of historical sites throughout the area. Cuernavaca is called "The City of Eternal Spring." 2008 Trip: I'm traveling to Antigua, Guate... full info
