Final Essay Proposal

For my final essay, I would like to combine my Snap the Shot and Describe a Place assignments and build off of each of them.  The setting would be Puerto Penasco, Mexico, which is where I went on my one and only out-of-the-country vacation.  Thus, my theme would be experiencing a different country and a new culture for the first time, and the characters would be myself and the family members who were on the vacation with me.  I hope to employ many of the techniques we have worked on so far in this class, such as descriptions, dialogue, and even the cross-cultural encounter.
