My spring break was better than yours.

WOOT! So anyway, I'm back, and I have finally achieved that wonderous feat of having "NO NEW MESSAGES" again---whew! Remind me not to leave for two weeks at a time again....sheesh.....

So anyway, yes, Mexico was grand. Eight of us went, and we stayed with Mexican families, and took Spanish classes at the ICO (Instituto Cultural de Oaxaca, or something close to that) and workshops in the afternoon (I took ceramics and weaving) and salsa lessons! And then besides that we walked around Oaxaca a bunch and saw all sorts of interesting things, and we took trips to Tule, Teotitlan, and Monte Alban. Tule is this little village where they have a ginormous tree which is about 2000 years old; it is really famous for all the shapes you can see in its branches, supposedly. I could see most of them, but, well, I think some people have too much time on their hands. But it was nifty anyway. Teotitlan is another village, which is famous for its weaving. We got to see people weaving stuff by hand and the stuff they use to dye it and everthing; very interesting. I bought a rug. It is loverly. And then Monte Alban is ruins, and ruins are ruins, what more can I say? They were cool. The stairs were huge. It was on top of a mountain so there was a nice view.

Anyway, it was a lovely trip. My pictures were taken with a crummy $4 camera, so we'll see what I come up with when I get the film developed, but don't expect anything. If you want to see pictures (and you should) go check out Brock's page; he went too, and he's got some good ones. He also has a list on his page of the many hilarious inside jokes that none of you will understand because you weren't there but you should see them anyway because you just should.

So yeah. Good times. It almost makes me wish I wasn't graduating this year so I could go again next year. Almost. :D

Alrighty, well, yeah. I gotta go to bed now, 'cause I don't have school tomorrow and I have PLANS!!!

Brock, tu sabes.

Later!
