Ambassador and US Secretary of Education Honor Mexican Teachers

On June 13th, 2008, U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza hosted a "Teachers Day" reception for teachers in Mexico at the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City in honor of U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings visit. The event was a cheerful affair where teachers, diplomats and Fulbrighters from all over Mexico got to reconnect with each other and enjoy a beautiful view of the Anthropology museum's Aztec calendar while nibbling on "botanas" and sipping wine or soda. Personally, I enjoyed the opportunity to say good bye to many of the teachers I might not see again until the next time I'm in Mexico.

Ambassador Garza, thanks for supporting teachers and English programs in Mexico!
