| Before
the trip there were mixed emotions of fear and excitement. Three
weeks in a foreign country- What would our family be like? Would
we forget all our Spanish? Would we get lost in the city?
But, we left Indiana with the highest of expectations. |

| When
the three weeks came to an end, we were definitely excited to return to
the United States and our families here, but there were tears, too.
We had bonded with our mama and all the teachers in Guadalajara.
It felt like we were leaving a family behind. The trip was
an experience that changed our lives and one that we will ne ver
forget. From walking around the city and traveling to Puerta
Vallarta, we learned Mexican culture and the unexpected about
ourselves. So go. ¿Porque no? |
