Just a Preview...

Hello everyone!

Not much has happened this past week. Teaching is going SO MUCH BETTER now that we have a nailed down schedule. All of my teachers are happy and healthy, and I'm enjoying every minute here in Mexico- my life is great!

This week has been filled with organizing, teaching, trainings, and endless teacher evaluations. Just when I get everything done on my "to do" list, I realize that I need to start all over again. But- want to know a secret? I LOVE being busy and doing what I do. I think that it's the best job ever! I don't interact with the kids as much as I would want, but I do get to talk to the badly behaved ones :) I just love the Mexican people in general. I love how willing they are to please and make you feel comfortable. I already feel as if this is a home away from home.

Next week is Mexican Independance day which means that there are lots of fiestas, lots of food, and lots of family that you need to kiss and hug! It also means that we have 2 days off school so the other teachers and I can go on vacation! Nothing is set in stone yet but I believe that we are going to CUETZALAN! I don't know if any of you have heard of it but it sounds like this amazing place! It's about 5-6 hours away and we are going to be staying with this B&B run by some indigenous Mexican women (cool huh?) Cuetzalan sounds like it has a bit of everything like ruins, waterfalls, local culture, and awesome architecture :) Here's some pictures that I found of this amazing city!

Yep- they're hanging by their feet.

Amazing right?

I'll be sure to post some AMAZING pictures when I get back. I'm sure we're going to have a great time next week.

Sorry I don't have any more news! This week hasn't been too exciting but I hope that everyone is happy and healthy and safe back at home!
