Preparing for Mexico.....

For the second trip in a row, I've broken my "no repeat trips" vow. I'm preparing to head back to Guanajuato, Mexico. The reasons for this are many- I found Guanajuato to be a quaint place to study Spanish, it is easy to get around this colonial city and last and probably most important- I've developed a great working relationship with my Spanish tutor who is based there.

This trip promises to be a bit different than my other travel experiences as I am combining my language learning with a week filled with "Latin dance". If learning a language is insight into the culture, then learning the local dances has to be the window to the soul. My Spanish tutor assures me that I'll be able to keep up with with my Mexican dance instructors. On the other hand, my American dance instructors seem to be a bit worried. I guess we will see which set of teachers knows best!
