EIL Intercultural Learning

Hello again! Well I am back in Ireland now! I think the last blog entry I wrote didn't appear at all, but it was just a little piece on my thoughts on leaving La Ventanilla for Ireland, and how I was feeling.

Hola! Well it really has been a very exciting week! I´ve had to make out a list of all the things I want to mention in this blog so that I don´t forget anything! Well I will begin with the turtle liberation. Since we arrived in La Ventanilla, I had been waiting every day to hear if any baby turtles had been born.

Hola amigos!

Well, it is hard to believe I have been at La Ventanilla for almost four weeks! The time has been very quick in going, and has seemed to have even gone faster since I last wrote.

Another week has passed very quickly for me in La Ventanilla. There is a lot of heavy  rain at the moment, although it appears to be brightening up today. There are so many new animals here. For a start, the sight of  lizards darting about in the grass, or climbing the walls in the cabana has become an everyday occurance. They are mostly very small, and a very light, almost see-through green.

Hola mis amigos! Que tal? Well, here I am in La Ventanilla! Well, I´m actually up the road in the nearest town, Mazunte at the moment, as that´s where the Internet is.

Hola! Well it is my second week here in Oaxaca and I do feel more like I am begining to settle in! I{ve been getting to know the city a bit more, and went tosome very interesting places.

Hola! Hello! Well...I am in Oaxaca City! So far, everything has been so exciting. Where to begin! Well, I've been taking Spanish classes since Monday, and I am staying with a family in a beautiful casa (house), along with two very cute dogs, which suits me down to the ground. I have been welcomed far beyond my expectations! I really love the food-breakfast is my favourite-lots of fresh fruit! I am very well looked after. There is no fear of me!

Hello! My name is Mary Mc Donnell, and I am the very delighted, excited winner of the Mexico Travel Award. I am setting off tomorrow morning (or in fact, should I say this morning, looking at the time with shock-after midnight!). I'm travelling with another award winner, Mark.
