Jesus and Carmen´s Carne Asada: pics





Top left: The carne asada grill with Carmen and I
Top right: Delicious veggies to make the salsa
Middle left: The carne and onions! (It´s really steak, then it´s cut up to make yummy tacos!)
Middle right: Happy Michelle post carne asada tacos and Tecate light beer (the whisky...just for show, sorry!)
Bottom: The gang (Yessica, Paco and little Paquito, followed by Ruben aka Tíó and Eloy, and my friends Carmen and Jesus)

Hungry anyone? I will miss Sonora´s famed food! (Their carne is considered the best in Mexico, hence the steak comment!)

Blog Background

Starting August 2007, I will studying at the Universidad de Sonora (UNISON) in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico for the first year of my graduate program in Spanish. In the summer of 2008, I will return to the United States and go to Ohio to complete the second year of my Master's program. As an undergrad, I lived and studied in Denia, Spain for a semester and loved the experience. Ever since, I have wanted the opportunity to live abroad again. Mexico is an ideal location for me as Denver, CO has a very large Mexican population. For the past five years, I have taught 3rd grade in a bilingual classroom and the vast majority of my students have been of Mexican descent. I plan to return to return to Colorado upon completion of my studies and I believe this experience will make me better able to serve. I am using this blog to help document the year for myself, share my experience with family and friends, and be a reference for other students planning to study abroad in Sonora and/or elsewhere.
