... it was, it was a great feeling and I'd love to feel that way forever! <br><br>Afterwards, we headed back to our main facility for some education time. We were asked to pin a piece of paper on our backs and go around and write what you think each person would be doing in 10 years. Here is what some members of my cast had to say about me:<br><br>Being young at heart...even at 80!<br>Performing everyday!<br>Seriously, you inspire me to work harder and always do my best - you can do this ...

... from China, was also with us as she needed to sign some paperwork at the Danish embassy in Mexico City. I was able to call my parents and Matt and let them know that I had arrived safe and sound. <br><br>On Monday, I awoke to the smell of hot, traditional Mexican quesadillas. They were delicious :) After breakfast, I packed my suitcase as later that day, I would be flying to Veracruz. Armando, Wei, Mark (a staff member from London) and I spent the entire day in Mexico City ...

... to jump on the meat train. We also attended a professional basketball game, which was far less crowded than the soccer stadium but still a good time. Tony recognized a couple of players from the US. Apparently, basketball players are one of our more popular exports to Mexico due to a lack of height en el gene pool. I´m going to cut this entry short, because we have a lot more coming and we´re trying to be good about alternating authors. Next stop is unknown so tune in... Amor, Danielle

I went to Guanajato for a night this weekend. It is an attractive town with historical importance, beautiful buildings, a university and a museum full of accidental mummies. Once a silver and gold mining town (built in colonial days), The town now draws in the capital of many tourists. The minerals in the ground coincidentally combined to create of affect of preservation on the many ...

I have been dancing. A lot. As in every night. I have, in turn, been sleeping a lot. As in everyday. I do not entirely know how to salsa. But what I lack in experience, I make up for in enthusiasm. It is really fun and I am starting to get good enough to really dance with a partner. Ricardo, the ex-son-in-law of my host family, is one of the best ...

Today I was, some would say, LOST. I got on the wrong bus attempting to leave the Tuesday flea market outside of town. El Tianges. I went there to check it out, see some more of Mexico... I wandered around, almost bought a few things and took a couple of photographs. What a strange assortment of offerings: puppies, much clothes, household goods, veggies, raw meat, birds, bunnies, roosters, door hinges, television remotes, candy, and the list goes on. As I was ...

My teachers don't speak English. I am taking 7 hours of class a day. Pronunciation and Intonation, Spanish, Conversation, Songs and Dances of Mexico and Mexican History. My first class is okay. I get confused, but can participate in the call and response, the songs and the practice. The teacher is an older Mexican woman, traditional in her teaching style... But she models most things and smiles frequently. The Spanish Language class is also good ...

There is a "hot spring" a bit outside of San Miguel. It was built in '68 as a practice facility for the Olympic Games. Many swimmers were worried about the high altitude of Mexico City, so they came here to practice first. It is a very large swimming pool that is slightly warm because it is heated from a nearby hot spring. It is not a "hot spring" in the Oregon ...

Last night I went out salsa dancing. After the salsa band stopped playing mi amigo enrique took britney and I to a discotec that is popular amoung locals. The place was packed and britney and I were some of the only gringos around. I ended up on a balcony dancing above the crowd with the spot light on me most of the night. I danced (with vigor) until 4 in the morning ...
