Bienvenidos a todos al Blog de Merida 2015! Welcome
everyone to the Merida 2015 Blog! Team Merida (Carly, Valentina, Vanessa and
Dan) all welcome you to keep up with this blog to experience the exciting and
unique journey that your son or daughter is embarking upon this summer!
I am Carly, and will be maintaining the blog
on a weekly basis from Merida. At the orientation on Sunday April 26 in
Bloomington, I will be passing out to parents and guardians a small business card with
the instructors’ contact information as well as the blog site address.
On the blog, you can expect to find
descriptions of what we have done and/or will do on a weekly basis (I will post weekly, usually on
Saturdays or Sundays) accompanied by pictures and at times videos as well
(technology permitting!) Below I have added some pictures of where we are in
Mexico and also a bit of what the city looks like.
Look for our first post after the first week in Merida
in June! ;)
A little bit about where we are going to be
spending our time this summer!:
MERIDA, MEXICO
• Capital of Yucatan State of
Mexico
•
One of the most important places to
experience the Mayan heritage
•
Merida has a distinct cultural and
political identity as a result of its unique geographic location, strong
Spanish influence, and isolation from other parts of Mexico.
•
Unique culture and traditions: the
local dress, language, cuisine, and the observance of holidays and celebrations
•
Close to famous archaeological
sites, such as Chichén Itzá and Uxmal
•
Close to several ecological
wonders, such as cenotes (underwater sinkholes) and exotic bird sanctuaries
