Hurricane Henriette (1)
So, I thought I´d avoid Hurricane Season by living in Hermosillo with the Baha to protect us. Hah! Not so. Hurricane Henriette is in the Sea of Cortez right now heading northward. Thankfully we are approximately 60 miles inland from Bahia Kino, so we won´t get the hurricane as it´s a category 1. (Yesterday I freaked out thinking that the Hurricane was a category 5, so obviously today I feel better knowing it´s a 1. Hurricane Felix is a 5 so somehow I got that confused.) Anyway, we should get a good tropical storm out of the deal. That means lots and lots of rain in a city that doesn´t handle rain very well as it usually never gets rain. So we´ll see what it looks like this afternoon and tomorrow. You can tract the storm on http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ however it´s doesn´t tell you where Hermosillo is. If you find a different site that has a major island (Shark Island or something like that), Hermosillo is directly east. Updates later.

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.
