Hi all! This blog is for my friends and family in the states about my experiences while spending my year abroad in Xalapa, Mexico.
I am here living with a family and taking courses with foreign students as well as Mexican students at the regular university.
While having occasional home and university sickness, I am enjoying my experience so far. Speaking, and moreover understanding spanish can be difficult at times but improvement will come with time and practice.
There are always fascinating things to see on the streets, being in Mexico AND in a city. Musicians, street venders, artisanos...
...always something to see or do
Off to class, and then a 3 day weekend like every weekend :)
more interesting stories to come!
Ciao

Dear Sara,
Thanks for starting this blog. We will certainly enjoy following the events of your year in Mexico. Eli and I just finished making Creme Burlee which we plan to take to Jason & Amber's tomorrow. Amber broke her leg several weeks ago so we are planning to help around the house tomorrow, and of course play grandparents to our sweetheart, Mason. We hope to hear from you again soon. Take Care, Betty
Hi Sara Beth
It will be great hearing about all your experiences in Mexico. I heard about the dog that slept outside your door at the first place you were at. I am actually heading south of you this week to Belize for a short mission trip with 2 doctor's and a nurse.
Take care,
Kay
Hi SB
I just got back from playing Paul Harris, founder of Rotary in 1905 at a Rotary breakfast meeting in Carlisle. I have my first funeral at Mountville this Thursday. Looking forward to more postings from you on your blog. We get to take care of Nala starting tomorrow while Kay is in Belize
Love, dad
