San Cristobal, Mexico
Tuesday, April 28
My name is Ivette Clemente- Andoney. I am one of the five students participating in the internship with ex-president Vicente Fox taking place in Mexico from April 26 to May 2.
Today, we started out the day with breakfast at Rancho Fox. We ate in a part of the ranch that looks like a small hacienda (the area was previously used to house ex-president Fox’s bodyguards). After breakfast, we toured Dolores Hidalgo and San Miguel de Allende.
Dolores Hidalgo is considered, by the Mexican people, as the crib of the nation’s independence. The town is located to the north of the state of Guanajuato. While at Dolores Hidalgo we visited the town square, the Cathedral and the house where father Dolores Hidalgo lived, which has been converted to a museum. Dolores Hidalgo was a catholic priest who is considered the Mexican Independence.
Our second stop was the city of San Miguel de Allende. This city is located in the state of Guanajuato and it is about two hours away from the city of Leon. This city is a tourist place known for its beautiful colonial architecture. In San Miguel de Allende, we visited a beautiful church called Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, we enjoyed a very nice lunch and just walked around enjoying the beauty of the place.
We headed back to San Cristobal at about 4:30 PM and arrived about 6:30 PM. Once we got to our rooms, we spent a couple of hours putting together information about the trip to share with MOC students and faculty members. Doing so is a nice way to let everyone know how well we are all doing and how much we are learning. So far, the trip has been wonderful. I am very happy to have been given the opportunity to be part of this internship.
