2008 Schedule
Traveler's
Mind Writers Workshop: Veracruz,
Mexico

 |
October
24, 2008 - November 3, 2008
The workshop will run ten days,
from Friday, October 24 through
Monday, November 3. Students arrive
on October 24, and the workshop
begins that evening with orientation.
In Papantla we will stay at a hotel
on the central plaza, eat in the
various cafés around town, and hold
classes in an upstairs gallery at
the Casa de la Cultura.
Please
note: this schedule requires
that participants arrive by the afternoon
of Friday, October 24. We fly into
Mexico City and either take a bus
from there, a scenic six-hour ride
over the mountains, or take a second
flight to Poza Rica and then a 45-minute
bus ride to Papantla. For those
who want to extend their trip to
Mexico beyond the workshop, we can
help with travel suggestions and
plans.
In June,
Traveler's Mind staff will send
a reminder about passports, along
with recommendations for immunizations
and flights; in September we will
send a more detailed schedule, including
what to pack and contact numbers
for Mexico.
