Celebrating Mexico's 201st Anniversary in Oakland, CA!

It is fun to see my Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar experience come full circle. I left for Mexico City on August 19th 2010 and soon after celebrated with Mexicans the bicentennial of their country's independence.

Now, yesterday on September 15th (the eve of Mexican Independence Day) I spoke to the Oakland Rotary Club about my experiences living and studying in the beautiful country that is our southern neighbor.

I also attended the San Francisco Rotary Club meeting on Tuesday (the second oldest club) and have plans to speak there on January 10th.
