San Jose, Costa Rica 9/16/07

Ok, so call this what you will: sucking up to Costa Ricans in order to get applicants? Maybe. But I am really fascinated by a country that has NO army! Being a political science major, the fact that Costa Rica has done so well for so long in a relatively...

Up High in Quito 9/12/07

From sea level to 2800 meters! Welcome to Quito, Ecuador! The flight into Quito is always an adventure. Quito is settled with mountains all around, so I feel like we’re trying to land in a great big bowl. Some don’t like it, and it’s not that your stomach...

Hello Honduras 9/22/07

Ok, so if you've never flown into Tegucigalpa, you have to. If you do not know what I'm talking about, go to YouTube or Google and type in Toncontin Airport or Tegucigalpa Airport. It's apparently one of the shortest runways and most difficult...

Bogota Visit 9/14/07

Spent a day and a half in Bogota, Colombia. This was my first time here. We didn't do a whole lot here other than a couple school visits/fairs. We got to see some of the city, but mostly from a bus. The buildings and architecture were all really pretty...

Love Flying....

Ok, if you haven't figured out by now, my earlier posts are, well, on a delay. I still want to write about each city and will. But this is a timeout. I'm sitting in O'Hare Airport in Chicago. For reasons I won't go into right this second...

Mid-November and Up-to-Date

Ok, I feel really bad about not posting lately. I had all these great intentions of posting while I was traveling, and as I stated, it didn't quite turn out that way. For anyone who doesn't know, doing international recruitment is just a blur...

Mmmmm.....Chocolate Macchu Picchu 9/9/07

How can you not like this? The hotel where I stayed in Lima, Peru, had a scale model of Macchu Picchu--in chocolate. Every time I passed by, all I could hear in my head was Homer Simpson drooling and saying "Mmmrghghgh...Chocolate Maaaaachu Piiiicchu...

Thanksgiving Day and More

Ok, so posts seem to be pretty scarce, I suspect because students and staff are on Thanksgiving break. So here's a little bit of a howdy as I sit and watch the traditional Detroit Thanksgiving football game, this versus the Packers. The Colts play...

Lima, Peru 9/10/07

This is the first time back to Lima, Peru in 2 years. I really didn't like Lima the first few years I traveled there, but have really come to enjoy the city. We usually have a great visit to Colegio Roosevelt in Lima, so I was disappointed to not...

Panama 9/19/07

Oh, Panama, how confusing art thou. Every time we come here, it seems like lots of the other schools I travel with don't want to come back, saying it's not a good market. We somehow seems to get students from Panama (though fewer recently). This...
