Down Time
The group spent last weekend in the beach town of Zihuatanejo. All handled the stressful time of the influenza patiently and responsibly. They deserved some fun and relaxation, and found it, (and a bit of excitement para-sailing too!) lounging on the beaches and frolicking in the warm waters of the Pacific.

Sun Still Shining
The group gets together for a photo with their language teachers, IUSI's site coordinator Gabi Castañeda, and IUSI program coordinator Jennifer Jewett who traveled to Mexico last week to check in with the group in light of the recent H1N1 influenza activity. This photo was taken on the patio of the Centro Intercultural de Querétaro, where classes continued to be held while the university was closed.
On May 7th, universities re-opened and Jennifer reports that in Queretaro all was calm and life was beginning to return to normal. Students are back on the campus of the UAQ for classes and continue to enjoy their time in Querétaro.
