'El Sol Was Too Bright For 45 Who Went To Mexico
Page 5
While tolerant and less fortunate students and instructors listen to the dying echos of broken and greatly Americanized Spanish, the 45 students and faculty advisers who took the YMCA-YWCA-sponsored trip to Mexico during spring vacation are recovering from sunburn.
Something To Talk About
Reddened, but fading fast and peeling even faster the 19 men and 26 women can still be persuaded to talk about the trip at the slightest provocation.
More that there were shopping trips in Mexico City and tours of cathedrals and art museums. They saw the history of Mexico's struggle for independence when visiting the palace of Chapultepec. They saw pyramids of San Juan Teothuacan. Archeologists still aren't certain how old these pyramids are but possibly they are older than those in Egypt.
Something To Talk About
But they have something to talk about. Not just the bus ride back either, when sweaters and skirts were hastily drawn over Bermuda shorts for warmth. They left Mexico fresh from a day of water skiing and swimming at Caletra beach and arrived in Lawrence Monday morning in an unheated bus to step into a blanket of snow.
There were trips to Xochimilco and that town's floating gardens, and longer trips to Cuernavaca and Taxco.
And there was a trip to the University of Mexico which has one of the most modern and splendid campuses in the world with its ultra modern architecture and large student swimming pool.
Day Of Beach
Finally there was one day of beach, sun, and ocean at Acapulco. No wonder there were long faces when the two day bus trip brought them abck to a temporarily snow-capped Mount Oread.
Eager to tell friends of the trip, what do they talk about when with each other? The next trip to Mexico, or course.
