How time flies when you are in a nice warm climate. The weather here has been very cool according to the locals, today it was a cool 24º in the afternoon and it was about 8º in the morning. I could get used to this cold weather.

I have been meeting and dining with friends I have made here in Guadalajara. I have been to dinner with 4 different people so far and have been treated extremely well. The people here are very friendly.
I have also seen many different looking sculptures around the city and have put some of the pictures on flickr.

I was the guest speaker for a class in international relations on Monday morning and showed a presentation and chatted about Nova Scotia and Canada. I also had some very successful meetings on Monday and today dealing with new projects for students and staff from both institutions (UNIVA and NSCC). The trip has been a great success.

It is very different to see palm trees and christmas trees in the same place and warm weather...it does not feel like Christmas.

This has been a wonderful opportunity to reacquaint myself with old friends and see the real people of México.
