I’m going to Mexico! Needless to say, I am excited and ready for the adventure that awaits! I will be participating in BYU’s Mérida, Mexico study abroad program. I leave THIS Friday, April 29th and will arrive in Mérida just after 9:00 pm.
Mérida is the capital of the state, Yucatán. It has strong European and Mayan influences and is filled with cultural sites. It is about 30 minutes from Progreso Beach. I’m sure I will be spending plenty of time there!
I will be living with a Mexican family and taking Spanish classes at a local university. Here is what I know so far about my family: The head of the household is Pilar Mena and she lives with her daughter and three granddaughters. My roommate’s name is Mari and is from Wyoming. I don’t know her well yet but she seems really cool.
Well, that’s it for now! Stay tuned because the next posts will come from Mexico. :)
