Salsa lesson
On Tuesday at 4:30, all of the Brookline High School students participated in the Salsa dancing class. Daniella, the woman instructor and Gary, the male instructor started off the class with some foot work. Speaking only in spanish, Daniella began to explain the beginings of how the dance works. The smooth, and sexy tone of the music allowed us to really sink into the Latin feel of Mexico. I used to dance for six years and I stopped when I was twelve, but as we started to learn the dance all of the steps came naturally. Some parts were difficult but in the end we all were having an amazing time. As we danced, I learned to really appreciate the Latin culture and having the opportunity to live in Mexico for these fourteen days.

Intercambio (inglés-español)
Every Tuesday and Thursday everyone of us gets paired with one or two students trying to learn English and sometimes another person on the trip to have conversations. We spend an hour in small circles learning about each others tastes in music, movies, tv and food. We do half of the conversations in Spanish and the other half in English. When we didn't know a word in each others languages we would give the other a helping hand. So far I met three very different people in the conversations. I met a man who makes machines that makes our necessities, a man who makes coca cola and a girl who is a student at a local school. I learned a lot about Mexican culture and found that I had a lot in common with each of them.
