MEXICO

I went to Mexico as part of a student exchange/study abroad program with UAB and la Universidad de Guadalajara (Jalisco) from July 13- August 22, 1999.

We visited Mexico City (el Distrito Federal) our first week and then stayed in Guadalajara with host families for the remainder of the exchange.  We also went to pueblos outside on our own.

Our first day in Mexico City at una tequileria "El Cielo Rojo."
