The mornings are warmer, and the language more familiar as we settle into El Molino. Today students began their talleres. They are taking classes in ecology, traditional cooking and candy making, farm animals, and studying cactus, to name a few. Everyone immersed themselves into their classes, and the sounds of excitement and learning filled the air. El Molino is all about hands-on learning and our students are embracing it!
We spent the afternoon visiting Dolores Hidalgo- the site of the start of the Mexican Revolution. Students got a history lesson, and a chance to see another city in Mexico. Conversations later that night centered on the differences between the two cities, what students noticed about the people, buildings, roads, stores and transportation...a crash course in urban geography!
