Visit Historic Mexico Next January
The next travel program with the College of Humanities and Fine Arts will be a trip to Mexico from January 11 through 20, 2006. The tour includes five nights in Mexico City, two in Jalapa and two in Papantla. The faculty-in-residence is history professor Steve Lewis, whose specialties include Chiapas, the Mexican revolution and post revolution, and official Indian policy in Mexico. Professor Lewis teaches classes on the history of Mexico, colonial and modern Latin America, and social revolution. For those interested in receiving college credit, 1-3 units in history or Latin American studies are available.
The $2,119 package includes round-trip airfare from San Francisco, airport fees, transfers, first-class hotels, buffet breakfast daily and six dinners; and entry fees to the National Palace, Colegio de San Idelfonso, Castillo de Chapultepec, anthropology museums in Mexico City and Jalapa, Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Cholula Pyramids, Museo Hacienda El Lencero, Voladores de Papantia, El Tajin and Teotihuacan. A full-time professional tour director will accompany the tour, and, in each city, a city guide will provide local historical and cultural information.
A tax-deductible portion of the cost goes to college scholarships and programs. Contact Thomasin Saxe, group coordinator, tsaxe@csuchico.edu or 530-898-4642. You may also check the Web.
