Yesterday morning, after watching the celebration of Benito Juarez´ birthday in Benito Juarez, we made the hour long descent down the mountain into Ocotlán. Benito Juarez was indescribably beautiful, and although some people were feeling less than their best due to the altitude, I think everyone appreciated the cultural differencesand gorgeous views that isolation and elevation provide.
After settling in and eating dinner in our Ocotlán homestay, Señoras Neale and O´brien visited us to go over the lesson plans for today. In around an hour, we´ll be part of an assembly in the primary school here and teaching English lessons to fourth through sixth graders. While I am still not totally confident going into the first lesson, I know that as a group (with some Watkinson teacher supervision) we will have a great experience.
