Mexico- part dos

after a week back in Charlotte- it's off for round 2. First stop- Mexico. This might all sound like dejavu- and actually feels that way as well. The new job is helping to build an process improvement program in the company, so it's workshop after workshop these days. They're setup in 2-week segments. 1 week and back again a month later. So here's for Week 2 in Mexcio City.

the Latins- never a dull moment

One of my favorite memories. Ricardo's aunt, Maria Pilar, received a prestigious award for her service to the community. She helped set up a program outside of Mexico City that provides housing and fellowship for the elderly and less developed communities. How lucky that I was there during the same time to join them for the presentation. And what a challenge to push my Spanish skills to the limits! Below w/ the aunts and cousins living in Mexico.

Mexico: Work, Margaritas, and Great Friends

Straight from Brazil to Mexico. I'm working with a group of consultants to transition the work we're currently doing with them. I love my job, really it has been such a good move for me. And while I haven't spent more than 1 weekend in Charlotte and am exhausted, the opportunity is wonderful. Luckily I got to spend some time with my friends Ana and Carlos while I was there.
