So, as I have spent the past week interning at a study abroad company, I’ve been nostalgically reliving my freaking awesome study abroad experience in Queretaro…already 2 years ago in a month of so.

I want to be Mexican.
Sept 4th, 2007 Have I mentioned how much I love it here? Well, if I haven’t, I LOVE IT! Of course there are things and people I will always miss back home in Oregon, but I can’t get enough of (almost) everything here! I’m proud to say that I might have set the world record [...]

At 10 Sam and I walked to the centro to meet others to [...]

adjusting wonderfully to a slower mexican life
Sun Aug 26th, 2007 So, I am loving it here more and more each day. I don’t think I could like it better, but another day passes and it continues to improve. Today, Sunday, was unusual for me because I had so much free time! I set my alarm for 7 am and was ready [...]

mis clases mexicanos
August 23rd, 2007 Well, school was canceled today because they were afraid of flash flooding (Querétaro has a terrible drainage system). HOWEVER, it was sunny today!! I went to a shopping center with Elizabeth, Sam, and Alisyn. We got cell phones which I am very excited about…it will be so much easier to keep in [...]

las primeras tres dias!
August 19th, 2007 Well, I am finally here! It seems surreal that I am here in Mexico for the next four months but it is slowly sinking in. I guess I’ll start from the beginning. We left Salem in the afternoon make the hour long trek up to PDX – here are my sister and [...]
