Group Photo

This is all of the international students at TEC. Someone scanned the photo so its really horrible and the ends are cut off, BUT you can see how many of us there are!

Real De Catorce

I took a trip last weekend to Real de Catorce with my roommate and her friends. This town is incredibly small, and known as one of the ghost town wonders. These are some pictures from the trip. I wish I had pictures of our room...maybe someone has some I can steal. It was a joke. 900 pesos-$80 bucks for a cement room with a door that didn't shut/lock, no sink, a really nasty shower, and no doors on the shower or toilet. It was horrible, but a fun experience.

On the last day, we rode horses up to the top of the ghost mountain.My horse was crazy. It kept ramming me into the wall and even fighting with the other horses. I almost got thrown off once, and my leg is bruised from hitting the wall and car mirrors so many times.

Little Huichol girl. The Huichols are the indigenous people of the area, known for their use of peyote- a hallucinogenic that they use in religious ceremonies.
We took a 6 hour jeep tour, down the scariest mountain of my life (with graves on the side, probably from where people fell off.) We sat on the top rack of it, which was not very secure..) We even went into the desert where some people tried peyote (nobody in our group- aren't we angels...) We got to see some awesome things but we were all thinking we could die at any moment and I'm really surprised we didn't. It was without doubt, the most dangerous thing I have ever done. this isn't our exact jeep, but it looked just like it.

Here is a pic of another jeep tour coming up behind us.
