PLYMOUTH, A GREAT COLLEGE TOWN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

 Hello, everyone,

In 2009, I had the opportunity to travel from my country, the Dominican Republic, to New Hampshire, USA. I went there to participate in the Summer Writing Institute at the Plymouth State University for the first time. The PSU is a higher education institution located in Plymouth, a beautiful college town in New Hampshire, USA from which I treasure unforgettable memories. Acquiring knowledge on writing and meeting great people during the experience will accompany me forever. Also, it has helped in my writing projects a great deal. A good example is my book El Autoaprendizajede Inglés (The Self-Learning of English).  I hope you all enjoy the images I share here.



Plymouth State University welcomed me to its beautiful campus and I just loved it.


I will never forget the reading and writing journeys in the Lamson Library.



I never thought I would have so great moments at Robert Frost’s house. He is one of my favorite poets.


Here is the University Police Station. They do a good job to guarantee people security.




In many beautiful mornings, when walking from my apartment in the university campus to the Laundromat or the pharmacy, I passed by the Town Hall on Main Street.


Besides the easily noticeable beautiful flora in the area, its fauna is great. This blue jay is a good example.


Squirrels are also part of how varied its fauna is.

Not all was sharing knowledge with other writing teachers in Plymouth. Playing Horseshoe with Sam and Max in Angie’s yard in a beautiful afternoon was part of the cultural exchange that resulted from the event.


Dancing my typical music, Merengue, with my friend, Gret, was another experience of cultural exchange.



Sharing with Gret and Barry at the Thai Restaurant on Main Street was a great part of the Summer Writing Institute grand finale.
