Blogs from Puebla, Mexico, North America - page 8

Hey guys, I found some time here at work to put a quick blog in for you. Things are going very well recently. Maria´s mother came out of the surgery very well, and has been making a rapid recovery. I am doing my best here to stay stress free with my heavy work load I have had, 40 hours a week, plus class preparation. I have not had any real chances to travel, but have been enjoying work and life here in Puebla. Maria and I will be heading to the beach for semana santa which is next week. We are going to the western coastal state of Oaxaca. It should be a good break from the normal. I am also hoping to finaly move into a new apartment this next month if everything goes as ... read more

Tepìc, Nayarit, a 1o. de diciembre del 2009. Saludos a todos. Ahì les van unas fotos de la Gran Piràmide de Cholula (Tepanapa), la razòn de mi visita a Puebla. Esa piràmide que ven ahì es la màs grande del mundo, por encima de cualquier otra piràmide mesoamericana o egipcia; lamentablemente tras su abandono sufriò tal deterioro que parece màs cerro que construcciòn humana. Los españoles, como buenos cristianos, construyeron un templo sobre de ella. De acuerdo a lo leìdo, su base mide 450 x 450 m. y su altura es de 66 mts. El top 3 de las piràmides es: 1) Cholula (Tepanapa); 2) Gran Piràmide de Egipto (Keops) y 3) Piràmide del Sol (en Teotihuacàn). Esta piràmide tiene casi el doble de tamaño que la Piràmide de Keops, pero esta ùltima es màs alta ... read more

Hey everyone, Well, I know this update is extremely late. I have a lot of good news and some bad news. Things have been picking up fast at the Anglo and Boulanger as the end of the year roles around, test preparation, and testing as well as submitting final grades. Each school has also been inviting me to some social events for the Christmas season, dinners, gift exchanges etc. All of this together made it difficult to find time to update the blog, but the biggest reason I haven't updated is the fact that I broke my arm two weeks ago. Actually the weekend I had planned an update. The break was (as usual) from skateboarding. It isn't too serious and didn't reallyhurt too bad. However, I am wrapped up in a sling for 4 wks. ... read more

Der var en gang et stort og maegtigt rige. Riget laa paa en oe midt i en stor soe og havde kun 3 tilfoersels veje. Én mod nord, én mod syd og én mod vest. Paa oen var der to tvillinge byer, der hver havde deres religioese centrum. Her blev der hver dag ofret et menneske hjerte, for ellers ville solen ikke staa op den naeste dag. Kongen af riget var stor og maegtig og kontrollerede alle de andre folk omkring oeen. Disse skulle betale skatter til Kongen ellers blev de taget til fange og senere ofret. Kongen tog hver dag et til to damp bade, der blev lavet ved, at der blev haeldt vand og urter paa varme sten. En dag kom der nogle hvide maend med blaa oejne. Profetien var gaaet i opfyldelse: Guden ... read more

Hey all, Welcome back after a short break. A lot has happened since my last entry, so here we go. I have been working 8 hours a week at the Instituto Boulanger. This is not enough to support me here still, but has been a good learning experience and provides a bit of money. The good news, is the Anglo is going to hire me. The bad news is we have to wait for my Visa to come, which takes 30 work days. Meaning I won't start work until around October 20th. The Anglo is a non-profit British language school that pays extremely well, and is located 2 blocks from my house. So, until the 20th I will be teaching at Boulanger and hopefully one other school. I will also be looking to give private lessons. ... read more
