LA Studio in the Yucatan
In the Summer of 2005, I went on the study abroad trip to the Yucatan. While we were there, we traveled the peninsula, climbed Mayan ruins, slept in hammocks, and interacted with local villagers, among many other wonderful experiences. The main goal of the trip was to study Ecotourism in the Yucatan.
