Hello! I have failed at blogging and it's not that I haven't been doing things it's that I had fallen into a routine that did not include writing blogs. I will do my best to fill you in on the last few months of life. Highlights:
-I have a class of 21 this year and they are AWESOME!!! This class is the best I have had I think, well behaved, works hard....I couldn't really ask for anything better. The time is flying by!
-Living with Jose is going well. We've definitely had some rough patches of figuring it out but overall things are wonderful. He's still busier than ever but we just enjoy the time that we do have together. He is enjoying his full time PE job a lot and still coaching and playing himself. He just finished another tournament of his own which they won! It was very exciting.
-I have been staying around the city mostly because with no time off it's hard to plan trips. We've had so few days off! I did go on a day trip to see some waterfalls a few weeks ago with a big group. They were beautiful and just popped up out of nowhere.
-I've still been running a lot and doing a few races. I've also been going to yoga down at the beach every other Saturday morning. It's so nice to have a car because then I don't have to worry about who I'm going to ride with or if anyone else is going. It's very nice. I ran a race up a volcano last weekend. It was 21km and it was intense! Here is the link for the route and elevation map...

Here are also a few pictures from the race....GORGEOUS!
The whole group post race.
The crater...VERY green :)
Some of the views!
-I've already taken 1 masters class this year. I have another one in January and then just one class to go! That class is not offered again until the following September. So, if I stay again I will finish up then. If I don't stay, I will figure out another way to take it. About staying.....it's looking like I will stay one more but who knows. I change my mind daily!
-The new group of teachers is great and lots of fun people to hang out with. Although I no longer live in the complejo, I am still over there quite a bit. Since so many people left last year, it is a whole new environment in there...for the better. It's much more of a community and people have parties all the time and do things together.
-We are looking forward to coming home for Christmas. Jose is coming along and we are coming home December 15-Jan 3rd. Hopefully we will be able to see everyone
