Well today was our first day at the school! We got to meet all the other new foreign teachers and they had a nice catered breakfast set up for us in one of the classrooms and then we went on a trolley tour around Pachuca. I promise pictures soon, hopefully tomorrow, cuz ive got quite a few now and the trolley took to a great lookout point to see the city from up high. It was a great day and the other teachers are really great, everybody comes with a cool story. We actually found out that a couple my parents age live behind our apt in the green houses that are part of our complex and this whole time we never ran into them. Theyre from Portland and theyre really nice. At breakfast we met a girl Jaime who started working for ASP in April, she actually used to live in our apt, and shes knows alot about getting around and places to go. She took a bunch of us to a cafe after the trolley for a cheap, $3.50 4-course meal! Food and taxis are real cheap around here. Clothes and electronics not so much. So it was nice and we all got along real well and tonight were going to a circus in town. Oh, and apparently Ill be working with the pre-schoolers, I´m not sure yet if that means I{ll be an assistant to Sydney, another girl from Boston, or if I{ll be a teacher too. Either way, I{m excited about it. By the way, its weird that i introduce myself as from Boston, am i really? Kinda weird to hear myself say that. Theres another teacher here whos an hour south of Boston, Jamie{s from Las Vegas, Charles from Haiti, Joel and Chantel from Toronto, and Stuart from Austrailia, and theres others i dont know yet. Good mix.
By the way, I have to say, if you somehow got misdirected and typed in southOFtheborder instead of southOtheborder, my apologies cuz that site is definitelyl not mine nor worth looking at. It was created before mine so thats why I had to put an irish twist on it. Glad you found the right site. :-)
To the circus!

Hi,
I ended up on your blog at random. I'm from Mexico, I used to live in Pachuca too, but I relocated long ago. Right know I'm studying in Germany. For some time in Pachuca I dated this girl who was also teacher in the American School, she's german, her name is Karen Pauly, I think she was studying in Toronto, where she was scouted by the school. Anyway, I don't think she's in Pachuca anymore, we lost contact, I'm no longer in Pachuca, either but I know the city very well ('cause my family is still there, as well as a lot of friends), so in case you have a question or something, I'd be glad to help. Chau!
