THE ART OF BROWNSVILLE - COMMENTS

Hello Ya'll! I know it's been a long time but hey I needed the break! Also, this blog was really a prototype of a facet I wanted to test and for now I'll just use it as a update of sorts for the ArtsReach program and Brownsville. I have gotten some good cotacts in Brownsville (purley as reserach) and Frank and I are still waiting on word from from the UT staff. Wait...wait.. wait...that's the way of beauracracy (did I speall that right?). I wish we had way to jump start this program, but after working in at the International Office for 3 years I can appreciate the slow grind of institutional process being that it makes way for learning and imporving on mistakes much faster, as well as the leverage of teamwork.

Oh by the way, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I have been in Brownsville for a week now and I have realize how much I need my family and how much I need this place. This past tuesday, Elda, Marlene, Frank and I drove around Brownsville and visited two museums, C&C wings (which had good buffalo wings that we all gobbled down quickly) and then to this new cafe downtown called "Greg's Palette" which just rocked! Turns out it is owned by my friend Giana's uncle. I so miss that Brownsville is small feeling. I love feeling those "It's a small world after all" feeling and Brownsville really strached the limit on that feeling. I met someone from Brownsville who was close with my friend Letty in Castiglione, Italy! I miss Brownsville and yeah at first I was bored with my limited choices in recreeational activities but things are changinga and diversifying and I want to be a part of the evolutionof Brownsville and make sure that which is authenic and precious about Brownsville remains an important facet of the future of Brownsville.

Ok, I am going to bed and to play with my niece a bit. Merry Christmas again!
