Wau, so I´ve been writing just about everyday. I´m sure my parents like that. When school starts it will be harder to write but this week we have a lot of free time. This morning at school we spent a lot of time talking about paperwork, procedures, housing, yada yada and got a tour of the campus. It´s really nice and we cant wait to see all the kids in their cute uniforms. I definitely will be teaching pre-school, with a Mexican bilingual assistant and we are the Kinder Rojo class. I got to see my classroom and read the class list they have posted inside the school entrance. Looks like I will have 14 kids, 2 Diegos. It was so neat to read their names. I´m very excited about teaching them. Apparently in the pre-school program there are 3 levels, I think, preKinder 3 yr olds, Kinder 4 yr olds, and Primer Kinder (or something like that) 5 yr olds. Should be fun, Sydney and I get each other excited talking about it. She´s a little older than me and taught preschool in Korea. Hahah, I have next to zero experience but I´m just as excited. We shall see.
So today was an interesting adventure in Pachuca, buying cell phones. It took us a couple hours to get everything straight, first their card machine didnt work and then I didn´t like the phone I bought (it was super thin, but the screen was so 80´s, it was a good laugh) and traded it for another (actually its the exact same one I had in Spain!). Its a good deal (tengo saldo de nuevo, guapas sevillanas!), pay by the minute, and no incoming calls are charged. On our way out, we were calling a cab, and I flagged one down. He saw me and started pulling over but didn´t notice this motorcyclist on his right and ran right into him! We felt so bad, they yelled at each other and then the moto guy drove off okay but we kept walking, we werent taking that taxista. Jenny and I hung out with some other teachers at a cafe later and now were back at our favorite internet place.
Oh, the circus! It was soo much fun, took lots of fotos, it was a classic circus with some real funny acts and some acts we probably wouldnt see in the States. Had a sweet act with 6 real tigers that were so pretty and a dangerous motorcyclists-in-a-hamster-ball act. We had a blast and even got a foto with some of the circus men afterwards. Good times.
I´m feeling a little better, the altitude still has its hold on me, but were taking it slow and relaxing a lot. Thanks Aunt Sara for your tips ;-)
And I promise I will have fotos up by the end of the week... I am in the land of mañana....:-)

Hi,
to add pics, mmm... log into your blog's control panel, go to post creation, over the composition box you should see a tool panel, to the right there's a pic of photo in frame. That's the tool to add photos, it should open a new window. In this window you can add up to 5 pics by browsing in your PC and load them, it takes a minute or less before a "done" button is shown, after you click on it this window closes itself and your pics should be on the composition box (preview-mode, not HTML-mode). I hope I was clear and that it works for you. Chau! ;)
