Texas Tech and University of New Mexico are also here conducting international law courses in cooperation with the University of Guanajuato. We attended a concert last week performed by the university symphony orchestra. What a wonderful academic and cultural experience this is for our kids here. But so as not to misrepresent their total experience, you should know that our students also get to visit a disco one night a week.

The images this week are of our students at the University of Guanajuato. The campus is very old, beautiful, and historic. There are lots and lots of steps. You may remember that the name of our program, Los Escaladores, means climbers in Spanish. We hadn't realized how literally accurate a description this is for our experience here.

See this week's short comments from our students. Next week, we will share some of our community service experiences with you.

While we are enjoying our visit here very much, don't think for a moment that we aren't missing Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Several of us heard "Country Roads" on the radio at a restaurant the other day. It gave us goose bumps...
