Californians Barbara and John Dye have spent the last two years working in Guadalajara as members of the U.S. Peace Corps. Barbara, who holds a degree in geology, assisted the team which cares for the Bosque de la Primavera, while John, a graduate in mechanical engineering, carried out special projects for CIATEJ (Jalisco Research Center for Technology and Design).
The road to Guadalajara was a long one. Shortly after their marriage in 1971, the couple decided to tour Europe by motorcycle but after a while become disillusioned with the experience.
“The desire to see the world was still there,” says John, “but we were looking for more of a reason to be abroad than just sightseeing, so we started thinking about the Peace Corps, which seemed like a good option for getting to know a place in depth.”
