Yesterday Jorge went to the UPCH (Universidad Popular de la Chontalpa) where he will be working for the next 10 months. He thought he was going to tour the campus and meet a few people. He didn't know that a surprise welcoming ceremony was awaiting for him. Mr. Melendez, the academic secretary, and other officials were there. They were extremely nice and said very wonderful words to Jorge. At the end of the meeting, the pozol - a Mayan drink made out of corn and cocoa (a traditional drink of Tabasco), which was served with different home made candies. It was delicious! Later on, Jorge met the university president, Chemist Jose Victor Zarate Aguilera.
Jorge is so much taller than anyone else there.
