Krystal Veracruz

Me and my bag have had some issues and it decided to go on a little trip on its´own for 19 hours! It went down to the state of Oxacala, which i hear is quite nice this time of year. My bag seemed to enjoy it and came and joined me in Veracruz the next morning. I was rather ****** off though as it went without letting me know and the poor quality of my Spanish came to light when i was ...

Good morning! The sun in shining in Veracruz and I have finished packing. Today we leave for Puebla and I'm saddened to hear that the drive is only about 3 hours long. I wish it was more as I could greatly use the sleep but c'est la vie! I'll get what I can!

Last night we performed for a crowd of over 300 people and what a receptive audience they were. It seemed small since the venue we were in held almost 4,000 people, but this crowd definitely made ...

... And one must keep his or her mind open to it because that moment never occurs ever again. I've experienced that moment many times in Veracruz. And maybe I choose to finally learn that moment because I feel that my time is running out with UWP. Just think...I have over 3 months down and less than 3 to go until I depart from this amazing group of people.

A moment was experienced at the senior citizen's center yesterday while dancing in the hot heat of Mexico...

And while we ...

After spending most of the morning and afternoon at Coco Aventura, we went a boat cruise and toured important economical and historical parts of Veracruz. One of the most interesting places that we visited was the Castillo de San Juan de Ulua. This famous historical tourist attraction was once a large fort that protected Veracruz from Britain pirates. The cannons are still perched atop the fortress! It was such a great sight to see ...

Hi friends :)

Just wanted to wish you all a fabulous Wednesday! I've had a crazy 3 days here as we were prepping for the cast's arrival on Sunday and Monday, the cast arrived on Monday, and today was our first full day with the cast as well as Mexican Independence Day! I started a blog tonight but need to get up early tomorrow as we are going to the beach! I'll be sure to finish tomorrow!

I hope you all are well :)

Hugs,

... People, we are thrown into the culture by living with families that embrace that culture. And through that exposure we must learn to interact with the people in that family and of that city, and at least acquiesce to those changes knowing that we have no "neutral place" to return to that night.

Time to start living for the moment and what I am doing now. Nothing negative can come from that. There will be regrets or what-ifs. There will only be stronger friendships that will ...

And I will reiterate. Today is a great day :)

Actually it started off really well last night. I know, I know. Megan, last night can't technically carry into today. Well, this is my blog and today, it can :)

When I got home from work and watching soccer game with friends, my host mom and I had a great conversation in Spanish! For an hour! It was so awesome to hold a conversation. Yes, I stumbled ...

... one get the Franklin Model DBE-1470 at Amazon.com for $46.00. This is the most popular model with the students I have talked to and it will conjugate the verbs for you which you will find very useful. At 10:15 am you stop and head for the bus stop with the instructor and off you go, everyday they will take you around town to different places so you can practice your Spanish with the instructor and the shop owners. They will point out everything in ...

... see your hand in front of your scuba mask. The boat was moving so slowly we were able to swim all the way around her. When they pressure washed the keel they could not wash the two strips where the haul straps had been. Captain Greg handed me a line to keep me in place, and I went over the side to clean the bottom, all this while we were under way with full sails! That was the job for the day. We had a fun time of it, washing the boat ...

... flavor. ˇˇˇWOW!!! What a flavor. The place was teeming. I felt like I had been dropped into the center of an ant colony. I decided to have a Cafe con Leche and found out that I had never had the proper kind yet. I was expecting a cup of hot milk with Nescafe. Instead I got a glass with about a shot of brewed coffee that looked strong enough to knock you on your ass. I had been hearing ting ting ting since I walked in (the sound of spoons knocking on ...
