Misceláneo

Yesterday was a full day -- two lectures, lunch in town whose name I've already forgotten, a visit to a home for boys, a long bus ride to Mexico City and dinner at Chili's. Things are happening too quickly for me to keep the blog properly updated, but I am going to post a few random pictures from the trip so far.

First, a group photo:

Fellow Fulbrighter Shirley standing in front of the remains of a pre-hispanic religious building. Behind it you see the Catholic church and beyond that a steep hill, atop of which was another, more popular worship site for the indeginous people. I think this was in Teotitlan.

Ancient tombs. This was a very beautiful location, but the mosquitos were horrible and it was raining, so I rushed back to the bus.

Chachalacas Beach, site of some stunning sand dunes and the sand-flea massacre:
