An educational trip to Mexico is a worthwhile experience
. However, you have to include a little bit of mindless fun, too! If possible, visit a seaside resort town; while there, bask in the sun and splash in the surf. Try swinging by Tijuana or Mexico City to experience the thriving nightlife. Indulge in and try out as many different types of food as possible - dining is a huge part of the Mexican experience. In short, mix in some play with all of the eye-opening things that you're learning so that you don't burn out; in the end, you'll have a better feel for the history between Mexico and Texas.
