The First Blog of my Life!

To my family and friends-

Many of you have asked for emails with updates and pictures while I am down in Mexico- I created this blog in response. I don't know exactly how much internet access I will have at UAG, but I will attempt to keep everyone posted on life down there via this site.

To those of you who aren't quite sure what I am doing...I will be attending classes at the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara (http://www.uag.mx/) for 9 weeks. I leave in two days (May 12th) and will be down there till the very end of July. I will be in three classes all concentrating on Spanish. By the end of the summer, I will have completed 3/4 of my Spanish minor! I am doing this study abroad program through APU and there are 10 of us going. We are the guinea pigs though! They have never done this trip before. The details are pretty vague but I do know that I will be living with a single lady whose name is Isabel. It will be an adventure!

I will do my best to keep you all updated!

Oh, and the title of this blog "Ciudad de las Rosas" (City of Roses) is one of Guadalajara's nicknames.

Con amor (with love),

Kaitlyn


PS: Tequila and Mariachi were invented in Jalisco...some cool random facts :)

PSS: And I was looking at the wrong school when I told some of you that UAG was founded in 1792...so just disregard that info...oops!
