Save Mexico from a Rainy Day

A family member of mine has started a rainwater collection company in Mexico City. 

They are finalists in the Word Challenge of BBC and it's a big deal. 

Please take 30 seconds and go vote for "Mexico - Saving from a Rainy Day" and check out the short documentary on it so you can be sure you think it's cool too.

Gracias!

I will start blogging about life in spain again shortly... but i'll leave you with this.

.... it's my first day of high school again tomorrow. This time, I won't be wearing a uniform, there will be more then 20 students in my class, and oh wait, I'll be teaching. Let's see how this goes...

I am blessed with terraces and beautiful views.

In love.

So my real reason for coming to Spain… Kiwi Amarillo.

What is that you ask? Just a yellow kiwi, what’s the big deal? Kiwi’s are a bit sour anyway and quite plentiful back home.

What do I say? You ask all these questions because you’ve never tasted the miracle that this little piece of sunshine truly is. It’s wonderful.

It’s the love child between a regular kiwi and a mango. Simple & Amazing. I could try and explain the deliciousness that is this fruit but it can’t be done, just sampled.

Now I know that kiwis did not originate from Spain, or even New Zealand like the little sticker says, but this is where we met and fell in love. 

Here I am.

It’s been about 6 days since I left the US and began my adventure to Spain. Traveling is my favorite thing of all time, I think. Even though it’s really not always actually fun in between the no sleep, tight spaces, layovers, heavy luggage, and in a continued state of confusion, I love it. It makes me smile (almost) the entire time.

I’ve met some great people. From the fellow travelers in Malaga to the first Viejo (out of many) that there are in Estepa who proceeded to ask every bystander that passed by how to get me a cab. Really great especially since the entire town is on a hill, and by hill... I mean, the side of a mountain… and by mountain I mean, you should see the view from our rooftop terrace.

So Friday the first is orientation and that’s where it all really starts. So I can start figuring out life and how much traveling I can get in as soon as possible. A bit nervous for school and orientation and teaching high schoolers but it should be good. Any advice out there from anyone who has experience with high schoolers, let me know.
