I had a ton of fun this week and learned a lot. One of my favorite memories was talking, interacting, and getting to know people I didn’t know well or at all. I was able to meet Benjamin, Gabi’s nephew, and to see how funny Kyle is. The coolest part of the trip was going to Uxmal on Friday. I looked out from the governor’s palace at all of the ancient Mayan ruins, and imagined how wonderful the buildings were 1500 years ago. The most challenging part of the trip was not knowing Spanish well, and therefore not being able to interact well with some of the Mexicans that I wanted to. Overall this was extremely fun and I look forward to hopefully going again.
