Explanation




This blog is beginning because of my upcoming trip/study abroad experience in OAXACA, MEXICO!  I'm leaving on August 22 and returning on Christmas Eve.  I stay with a host family whose identity I will hopefully be discovering in the next couple of weeks!  Ay!

The first 3 weeks of the trip will be intensive Spanish classes with Salsa lessons in the afternoon.  The next 6 weeks is classes taught in Spanish...I'm taking Sociology and Anthropology.  And finally, the last month is a full-time internship at a nonprofit organization.  I'm soooo excited!  Also, the PLU program works with Witness for Peace, so we are traveling a lot to Indigenous villages in the hill around the valley of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Mexico city, and more!

That is a bit of an intro.....thank you!  Here is a picture of the beautiful place that I will soon be in....
