MAY HIGHLIGHTS AND NEXT STEPS

With less than a month left in my Fellowship here in Mexico, I am starting to wrap things up before taking a much-needed break at "home" in Colorado for the summer. I only have 3 more workshops to present (to Veracruz, Atlacomulco and Pachuca) - and then I am done!

Overall, this experience has been wonderful. The past 9 months have been filled with many interesting travels, friendly people, and fascinating cultural offerings. For these reasons, I have decided to renew my contract with the US Embassy in Mexico while I wait to be "called up" to DC for my training as a Foreign Service Officer...So, come September, I will return for another round as Senior Fellow at the US Embassy/Benjamin Franklin Library in DF. I look forward to exploring this amazing country some more - while continuing to train teachers throughout.

Start planning your visit now - Mi casa es su casa!

Ciao for now,

Daniel
