Welcome to my blog for Mexico!

On January 3rd, 2012, I will be flying to Mexico to live in the city of Merida until March 16th. Merida is the capital city of the state of Yucatan and is considered to be the safest and nicest city in the country. I will be studying Spanish to fulfill the College of Arts and Sciences language requirement. The Mayab Education Abroad program is offered through Ohio University and this is it's 32nd and final year. I'll have class from 8 am to noon, four days a week and will go on 3 weekend excursions to see Mayan ruins. Other than that I am free to do as I please and will most likely spend a lot of my time at various beaches.

Since many people have asked me to send them pictures while I am away I figured I would create this blog to share with everyone. I will try to update it as much as I can with stories, pictures and videos. I will be pretty busy while I'm down there so it will probably be updated once every week but hopefully it will be full of cool stuff by the end of the trip! I am very excited to experience life in a completely different culture and thank you all for your support!

See you in the Spring,

-Tim
