We have come to discover that our Spanish language school has a strange tradition, a privledge granted to the students in the second semester who are about to complete the program: a skip day. As a graduating class, we scheme together and choose a day to "kidnap" our professors and have a "forced field trip" in Mexico for the day. Twenty of our classmates were able to come with us today as we enjoyed shopping in the tourist town of Progresso. Our classmates bought some neat things: a hand-painted tortilla warmer, some little purses, Mexican soccer jerseys, candy-coated almonds, and a 5' long rainstick. Top photo: Our Manitoban friend having Mexican braids done for $10! Warning: stylist holds sections of hair in her mouth as she vigorously braids with both hands. Aaaayy! Hey, what does that green sign say on the back wall of the salon? -- eyelash perm. Yikes!
