Ok, today was a really long day.  We got up at our regular hour of 7 o’clock and went to class.  It was our last day of Spanish class and he told us to keep reading and practicing Spanish or we would lose it.  It’s kind of sad that the trip is coming to a…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.27.1999

Yesterday was a free day and we spent the day relaxing.  First, Jen, Angela, Greg and I went to town for some lunch.  We ate  at the restaurant I went to on my day off and I got my regular burger and fries.  After that we walked around the town again but had gotten most…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.26.1999 – Johanna
