Adventures in Yucatan, Mexico

Welcome to our program blog!  It's been out of commission for a few years, but we're back, keeping you updated on the goings and doings of our current immersion program. Students from College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine, U.S.A have begun their program, becoming immersed in Yucatecan culture for 3 months!  The past two years have been full of challenges and changes, so this year's program will be a little different as we focus on the health and safety of our program participants and the local people and communities that they will come into contact with. Let's get started! On the way to our first destination, the coast of Yucatan, after a few technical problems it was smooth sailing toward the Gulf of Mexico! Do you know how to sleep in a hammock? Our students are now experts, and what could be better than enjoying the stars, the ocean breeze, the sand and a couple rain drops… A promising dawn as we wake up in a community of fishermen, our local guides talk to us
