Summer

As mentioned in the previous post, I am spending the current semester in Guadalajara, Mexico. Already I've learned that cars do not stop for pedestrians and that the temperature never falls below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

I decided not buy a field recorder to bring with me because I didn't think I would use it. Little did I know, Guadalajara is brimming with art. In the somewhat touristy part of town I've already seen a few sculptures, a mural or two, and a cathedral -- not to mention some great graffiti. I also visited the Museum of Journalism and Graphic Arts, a cross between an art gallery and a history of journalism in the city. A Field Reporter for Radio Arts Middlebury would have been right at home.

Much of what makes Mexico famous in the US comes either from Guadalajara or from Jalisco, the state of which GDL is the capital. Mariachis, tequila, and a few styles of tacos that have gone global all originated here. In fact, the annual international Mariachi Festival is coming up this Saturday. . . and me without a microphone.

But I won't bore RAM's dedicated fans with too much travel reporting. If I really feel the need, I'll start my own blog about my stay, and increase the author-reader ratio even further.
