Our first week in
Mérida was extremely busy. We (the instructors) are very proud of all of our students for the many things that they have accomplished this first week. On Wednesday, our students met for the first time their
canto/música instructors.
On Thursday, we had a guest speaker that came to talk about the History of Mexico and of
Mérida. The students learned, among other things, the role that the Y
ucatán Península, and in particular
Mérida, played during the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) and the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920).
On Friday, we went on a bus tour around
Mérida. The tour was at 10 a.m. We decided to meet at 9:00 a.m by the Cathedral located in downtown
Mérida. It was a great morning for a group picture!
On Saturday, we went to the beach, in Progreso, almost an hour away from
Mérida by bus. Our super-star Ian took a great picture of some of us getting ready to play soccer. We didn't have goals, so we had to improvise and made them with sticks, shells and coconuts that we found around the beach.
