Nope, not lost!

Woops, haven't written in a while...I feel like I've been so busy, and I really just go online at school so if I don't have time, I just don't make it on. After school we usually eat by like 530 and then I go to dance in the neighborhood Morelos. So my nights fill up fast and I have to make time to do my laundry and go to the internet cafe and such.

Anyway, glad you all liked my last blog, I know sometimes the normal stuff is the most interesting. To back up a bit, I was in Cuernavaca last weekend, a little colonial town outside Mexico City. Lots of chilangos, or people from Mexico City, have their vacation homes there and go there on weekends. So its nice, Cortes's palace is there with a giant Diego Rivera mural inside. My favorite part was a private home - turned museum - of an art collector/artist from the United States that lived in Cuernavaca. It was such a awesome house, full of art, and decorated to the hilt. Could've imagined Aunt Sara living in something that creative. Heading back to Pachuca we stopped through Mexico City (everytime we take a bus out of Pachuca we go through Mexico City) so I got to see the giant main square, or Zocalo, for the first time, with its gigantic flag and I went in the Palacio Nacional to see more famous murals by Diego Rivera.

This past Friday we didn't have school again due to rains from Hurricane Lorenzo. Really it wasn't bad at all, the rains stopped by 10 in the morning but haha, they had already cancelled school!! Sweet. Jenny and I found out from our taxista and we did a u/turn and went home to lay in bed and watch tv. Great day. That night was the dance school's fourth anniversary party so that was fun. At one time my dance teacher made me get up and dance the cumbia with him but no one else was dancing yet and I think everyone probably thought it was interesting to see such a guera trying to dance a latin dance. Anyway, then Saturday Stu and I went to Mexico City for the day and saw touristy stuff like the famed neighborhood of Coyocoan, Leon Trotsky's house, Frida Kahlo's Blue House, the beautiful Fine Arts Museum (tons more Diego Rivera murals, and a special expo on him too, good thing we really like his work), and we walked through Alameda Park, their version of Central Park. Oh, and I bought a coat! I need to go back to go shopping, I need more warm clothes. Anyhoo, we are sticking around this weekend, Friday night we have tickets to go to a concert that's being held at the university in town. Should be fun!
School is good, love, love my kids, love being a preschool teacher. We're learning the letter T and we'll start the letter A this week. It's my turn to decorate for this month's holiday so my assistant and I are working on making a Halloween bulletin board and decorating the arch and walkway in the preschool area. At the end of the month all the kids come dressed up for a parade in their costumes. Can't wait.
How's life in the States? Love hearing from you all. Miss you!
