Por fin!

Finally I got some pictures up! The real problem wasnt my connection but the size of my pictures. So I made friends with the technology guys at school and they were able to shrink all my pics so they were sendable and downloadable. These are just a select few of what Ive got but they should give you a good idea of what my life is like down here in Mexico. I still have yet to take pictures of the school and my cute cute kids! Anyway its hard to believe that today is Sunday and tomorrow we start another week. Our weekends fly by!! Friday Jenny and I entertained and made dinner for our neighbors, Heidi and Dave, a couple who teach at the school and that we went to school with everyday. They´re moving home for a month as they are about to be grandparents in the States. We will miss them so much, they were like our Mexican parents. Saturday I went with Stuart and Rodney to an outside concert that Rodney´s church was putting on. Then Stuart and I went to another Pachuca soccer game and we won 4-1. Later we met up with a bunch of other teachers from the school to go to a discoteca called La Esquina. Today Jenny, Stuart and I went with our Pachucan friend Christian to a little touristy town outside Pachuca called Real de Monte. We visited an old mine, this area was a prime mining district back in the day, and we even got to go 180 kilometres deep into the mine. We ate and walked around downtown, its not very big, but its cute and attracts lots of tourists from Mexico City. About to begin another week and all of Pachuca is dressed up and getting ready for Independence Day on Sept 16. We cant wait to see what the celebrations will be like!
How´s it going back home??
