This is a mural painted by Jose Clemente Orozco, a man who had really bad eye-sight and only one hand. The mural is a picture of Miguel Hidalgo, who was a mexican hero. |

Cemetery People view death differently in Mexico. For example, this grave is often used for wedding photographs. |

Stylin' and profilin' in Puerta Vallarta Amanda, Savannah, Jasmin, and Andrea |
| This trip to Gualajara was an amazing experience for the both of us. It got us out of a typical Franklin College classroom and put us into the streets of the city, getting first hand experience in Mexican language and culture. We went on two weekend trips, the first one to Manzanilla/Mazamitla and the second, Puerta Vallarta. Although the weekend trips were mainly designed to have fun, they kept us speaking the language and learning more about the culture. |
