Wow it`s December and therere only 15 days until im on a flight back to the States! I am very excited to see my family friends and enjoy a white Christmas, cant wait!

Well the last time i wrote was before thanksgiving so to let you know, that went great, it was a really fun day, fun times with the kids, they loved their indian headbands and pilgrim hats and sharing food. We had a really nice potluck dinner with the whole school faculty after the kids left and there was live entertainment including karaoke and the debut of Stu´s band of teachers. Friday we had an inservice day which was nice and relaxing and shoot I honestly cant remember what we did that weekend, it was just a chill weekend in Pachuca, I must have really not done much. Oh i did go to see Jenny play 2 soccer games and see her win her league. This past weekend they gave her team a nice trophy ceremony. Somehow she ended up on the best team in the league. Shes had a great time. Lets see.... then last Monday Stu had his first solo gig in Pachuca and played at a little cafe in his colonia. Other teachers and friends came from school and had a great time. He even asked me to come up and sing a song with him which was a lot of fun, and funny. This weekend was another chill weekend in Pachuca, we really miss the good soccer games, Pachuca got knocked out of the Mexican finals a couple weeks ago. Saturday I tutored my favorite little first grader, Caro, in the morning, and then later ate dinner with other teachers from the school. We had some good gringo food and played Yuker (spelling?). Sunday Stu and I went to Real de Monte, for our 2nd time, (we climbed in the mine up there months ago with Jenny and Chrystian) but its such a cute town in the mountains and only 20 minutes outside Pachuca. We just had a good lunch and walked around. I think everyone in Pachuca goes there on Sundays. I also thinks just about everyones grandparents live in Real de Monte. Its pretty funny. Stu bought an aquarium and has been buying fish like candy. Unfortunately his tank is like survivor island and there have been quite a few casualties. I bought a beta fish for his tank and named him Rafael. Hes still kicking it.
And lets see this week has been super busy and Ive done tons of tutoring after school with Caro because its exam week. I cannot believe its already December, i really cant and I cant wait to see snow and really feel like Christmas. I bought some Christmas lights and a Christmas English CD to get in the mood. I taught my kids We Wish you a Merry Christmas and theyll sing in at the next flag ceremony for all of preschool. Its gunna be cute.
Welp thats it for now, might go to Mexico City this weekend, we shall see, hope you all have got your Christmas trees up and decorated and are in the holiday mood!
¡Feliz Navidad!
