Back From Mexico
Busy Holiday Ends For Travelers
Seventy-five tanned and exhausted travelers returned from International Club's Mexican trip Sunday at 2 p.m.
The group left Saturday, Dec. 18, and visited San Miguel, Apalco, Mexico City, and Monterrey during the two week vacation. They made the entire trip by bus.
"In Acapulco we swam and watched high diving off of 120 foot cliffs," said Margareta Asklund, a KU graduate student from Sweden.
"WE SPENT SIX days in Mexico City and attended a folklorie ballet and a bullfight," she said.
Yusuke Kawarabayashi, a Japanese graduate student and assistant instructor who helped organize the trip, said that changes in food, water, temperature and altitude made some group members sick.
He added that some were simply exhausted from covering so much ground in such a short time.
HERBERT KAMITZ, a KU graduate student from Austria who also helped organize the trip, said two small groups went deep sea fishing at Capulco.
"Our group caught a shark and a sailfish and three dolphins," he said. "We also saw many tropical fish."
"Some went skin diving and others took boat rides in the bay at Acapulco," he added.
THE GROUP SPENT Christmas in Mexico City. Many attended a midnight mass on Christmas eve and continued sight-seeing on Christmas day.
"Some of us visited the pyramids at San Juan Teotihuacan about 50 miles northwest of Mexico City," said Kamitz.
"We also toured a modern art and an anthropology museum in Mexico City," he said.
"The THE CITY HAS one very unusual feature," he said. "One of its suburbs, El Pedregal, is built upon a bed of lava. The
homes are quite exclusive and many Americans live there."
Graciela Moscato, a KU graduate student from Argentina, said she thought the trip was well-planned, the group was interesting, and the accommodations were good. Although the entire group always stayed in one hotel, travelers were free during the day to go where they pleased.
Group members came from Finland, Sweden, Brazil, Germany, the United States, England, France, Japan, Colombia, Austria, Denmark, Chile, Argentina, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Lebanon, Israel, and Mexico. They ranged in age from students to elderly people.
The group stopped last at Monterrey and spent New Year's eve and day there.
