This past weekend was great. We had 2 free days on Saturday and Sunday. It all started this past Friday. We travelled to Mexico City to see a museum of history and then went to a smaller pueblo to eat. Then the weekend began. Most of the group was supposed to go to Cuernavaca but…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.11.1999 – Discotecas in Cuernavaca

I studied in Mexico in the NAFTA program through The Ohio State University in 1999. This is my journal we were required to keep as part of that program.
Mexico – 7.8.1999
Yesterday we went on a day long field trip to a hacienda and a town called Tlaxcala. I never realized how beautiful the Mexican countryside is. You travel along and see huge mountains that touch the clouds, green everywhere and cacti called Maggio (or something like that). You also pass by ruins of old farmhouses…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.8.1999
Mexico – 7.6.1999
Today was a regular day of class. However, today was special because the clouds of despair have lifted and the trip looks great from here on out. I checked ahead in the schedule and we have so many field trips ahead of us. Now I understand why we had to have so much class this…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.6.1999
Mexico – 7.5.1999
I think I finally have this trip all figured out. They are giving us mass information these first two weeks so we have appropriate information and knowledge to apply to the field trips. I’ve looked ahead in the syllabus and we do have a lot of field trips coming. That MAKES ME HAPPY! We just…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.5.1999
Mexico – 7.4.1999
I couldn’t write yesterday because we went to Mexico City for the whole day. I’ll begin Friday night when we all planned to go to the discotech. We were sitting on the balcony (The Agri boys and I) when this Venezuelan guy walks past us and knocks on Johanna’s and Kathryn’s door. It turns out…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.4.1999
Mexico – 7.2.1999
I’ve looked ahead in the syllabus and found that we have 9 more days of nothing but class. That is not that bad. I couldn’t survive if every week was like this one. One thing that really bothers me is the fact that we almost never end class on time. The teacher goes off on…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.2.1999
Mexico – 7.1.1999
Today was the longest day of my life. I find it very hard to start class at 9 and continue with almost no free time until 4. I really have a hard time following what Prof. Gonzalez has to say. His English is decent but I don’t feel the material is very organized. When I…… Continue reading Mexico – 7.1.1999
Mexico – 6.30.1999
6.30.1999 OK, I’m finally starting to like Mexico. Today we went to the pyramids in Teotihuacan. The two great pyramids of the sun and moon were very impressive. We climbed them both and I found out how out of shape I am. There were many people bothering you to buy stuff but weren’t nearly as…… Continue reading Mexico – 6.30.1999
