Wednesday morning
we toured the GM factory of San Luis, the technology for which will be
described later. Sorry, GM did not allow photos during our tour of the assembly plant.
Following this we were treated to lunch, power point presentation and music by Jessica Ortiz from the suburb of Soledad – which is technically our Sister City. The restaurant was genuine Huasteca, the eastern region of the state.
The students love
to talk about Huasteca
because it’s just a few hours away and offers tropical climate &
vegetation, waterfalls and a chance to swim.
Many Europeans go there for vacations and more Americans too. (Nice to know some Americans go somewhere
other than the Yucatan from cruise ships!)
Here is a picture
of a Huastecan woman in
her brilliantly colored dress. Also a
picture of a gate at a private home which we thought was stunning.
Lunch was delicious and good fun. We also have with us Karen Stamm who was born
in Canada and an accountant by trade, as well as Sandy Moulton who was taking a
second trip to SLP and Ann Honeycutt who heads up Sister Cities. Ann is the main link to the suburb of Soledad
and is a link to the programs which involve exchange of firemen, fountains and fire
trucks between Soledad/SLP and Alamance County.
And the reason why the “Bomberos”
provided our transportation in their bright red pickup and SUV.
