Old Town School – On The Road

Dispatches from the road from our wayfaring travelers.

First Day in México with the Old Town School

We made it! I can’t tell you how happy I am to be back in México. Maybe you already know, but I spent the summer of 2008 in Cuernavaca, learning to speak Spanish and meeting lots of great musicians and other friends. I thought it would be a long time before I got to return and I’m thrilled that it could happen so quickly.

It’s been so cool to be in México D.F. and to know my way around a little bit. Something about it is hard to imagine. I’ve also been getting a huge kick out of being able to use mi español. I’m still at the beginning of my Spanish journey, but it’s great to use what I have.

We got in to the hotel at roughly 3:00. We set our stuff down and went right to lunch.

By the end of the afternoon we ended up being part of a wonderful Aztec purification ceremony! More about that later, including some pictures, later.

Tomorrow we’re off to our first set of meetings with teachers here in México. I’m so excited. I hope we get to play some music.

Nos vemos amigos,
Jason
