Lasr summer I rook parr in rhe Indiana University Honors Program in Foreign Languages, spending seven weeks in Son Luis Pofosi, Mexico. A progression of Spanish resting, interviewing, and fill- ing our quesrionnaires was complered before I was selected as one of rhirry high school srudenrs rhroughour Indiana ro go ro Mexico. I srudied Spanish and lived with a Mexican family. This pro- gram is unique because of irs main rule: No English. San Luis is an average size ciry of 400,000 people, rhar has rerained many customs we ' d think of as rypical Mexi- can. It has managed to avoid extreme Americanizarion. Public buses (sardine cans on wheels) provide rhe majority of transporrarion, families are very close, you have ro speak Spanish ro ger along (unlike Acapulco or Mexico Ciry), and rhere aren ' r any McDonald ' s or Pizza Hurs. Travelling wirh my family, I was forru- nare enough ro see a lor of Mexico, rhe Gulf Coast, numerous crysral-clear rivers and waterfalls. In addition, our group of 00 students took three excursions, rhe final one being a trip ro Mexico Ciry where we spenr our lasr four days. — Jenny Herendeen (Front row): Kyle Novak, Scorr Novak, Rod Gaul, Brenr Novak, Chris Kelley, Laura Dusche, Mrs Julie Manger, Mrs Lynn Marquardr, Derh Dridges, Mrs Judy Novak, Dloke Novak.

It was three weeks of camping our and living wirh nature. Some of rhe natural beaury included waking up ro see Pike ' s Peak, hiking up and down mountains of sand and stone, horseback riding rhrough rhe Garden of rhe Gods, and swimming in a mounrain srream. Other close encounrers wirh na- ture were rhe ticks, the leeches and the bear. Although if was only one adven- turesome hiking group who saw rhe bear, all rhe campers were plagued by an occasional rainy and cold nighr. The venrures away from narure in- cluded a rour rhrough Coors Brewery, a day at Eliches ' Amusement Park, and an evening ar La Cosa Donira Resrauranr. Another unnarural experience was rhe 32 bodies packed inro two moror homes. The excursion made rhe sum- mer special for rhe campers, bur it also made rhem rhankful for rhe comforrs of home. k l — Laura Sammeringer MW
