El Molino y San Miguel de Allende- Our First Full Day!

The day started late for our weary travelers.  They slept in and had panquequis y mermelada (homemade) for breakfast.  Then everyone went outside to practice the skits they will be performing at the local school later this week. The sun felt warm and wonderful, sunscreen flowed like water and our travelers reconnected to the skits they began at Park Day.  The there was the daily game of futbol, petting bunnies, playing a game in the bottom of the empty pool, singing, and continuing taking in the experience of being in Mexico.

We  had a camp meeting before getting ready for our first field trip- to San Miguel  de Allende.  Students spent hours wandering the cities streets, mercados y tiendas in small groups.  They got to practice converting pesos to US dollars as they purchased a few items and experienced cobblestone streets, narrow alleys, limestone churches, and public spaces filled with people enjoying the day.

This evening, after another amazing meal, everyone wrote in their journals and then shared out some of their observations before going outside for the evenings activities-  a campfire!  Tomorrow our campers will sleep in again ( better rested than tired) before beginning their first talleres ( classes).  In the afternoon we will visit the site of the beginning of the Mexican revolution- Dolores Hidalgo.
