Friday, April 1 - A WHOLE DAY OF ENGLISH CLASSES??????????

Thursday evening we arrived on the tarmac and into a balmy and welcoming evening air. Customs were so polite and spoke excellent English. Then onto enchiladas potosinas, a local specialty, with our friends, Alejandra and Claudia (both of whom have been in Burlington), Alejandra's two boys and Ale's mother, Elena.

Friday was full up and fun: Here are pictures of the new buildings and gorgeous cacti at Universidad Technologica

         

 and students in the English classes. In two classes, we got an intro to zumba and “hay fi:, the newest dance in Mexico. Shot it on the video shown here.

 You say, what's that to do with English, and the answer is that the students just love to share their culture with us and we are happy to oblige.

By late afternoon we went to what can best be described as a high energy and deafening smoke & body- filled disco with blasting pulsating music, which would strike fear into the heart of any firefighter. Fun to see but, as you may guess we didn't stay long.

Later that evening we strolled on the Plaza de Armas, where folks of all ages were dancing tangos, cha chas and pasadobles under the stars; then watched a super talented local group dancing to African drums. Still hoping the video will work, but here are some pictures.
