Hola todos!
Es mi primer dia en Xalapa, y me encanta la ciudad!
What a great city! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and I feel great just being here alive and in one piece. Some of the highlights of the day: walking along lakes bordered by beautifully muraled walls, watching chickens with their babies and turkeys puff up and talk as I walk by, a donkey on the highway, MANGOES, and good times with good people.
I walked all the way to the Universidad Veracruzana, the sister university of UT, and it's a beautiful campus full of trees and lakes and wildlife. I got a bit lost and was helped out by a kind biology student who ended up giving me a bunch of tree seeds to take home! It's lovely just to chat with people and see their shocked faces as I tell them I'm here basically by myself and not really knowing what I'm doing at all (though less so now).
Tomorrow morning I'll talk with a student of Dr. Torres to see when I'll go to Papantla- hopefully by the 18th of June so I can catch their famous Vanilla Festival!
Love to all,
Allison
