Audio postcards created by college students on their less than conventional spring breaks.

Students at MIT collected sound over spring break and were given one class period to create these postcards of their atypical vacations. Many of the students were together on a field trip to Arizona to study water issues in the Southwest. However, as you will hear, similar experiences can appear quite different when interpreted from different perspectives.
