I've been back for a little over 1 week now and have been settling into my new place. Another teacher and I are living in a spacious apartment located about 12 minutes from the school. It took a few days for all the utilities to get up and running (gas, electricity, cable) but we are all set now except for the wireless internet. We dont have any furniture yet, but I did include a couple pics of the place: the first few are of my room and the last is one view from our living room window. I'm planning on putting a basic desk and shelving unit in my room, as well as a round carpet. Any home-decorating suggestions?
I started teaching classes right away and am enjoying them. One new thing is that I am now teaching at a company called American Axel Manufacturing (used to be owned by GM). Five of us teachers drive 40 minutes a few days a week to the plant and then split up and go to our respective classes inside. The students are great and really motivated (because their jobs depend on it) and the pay is twice as much as giving classes inside the school!
Last Sunday I watched the World Cup Final at the school director's house. It was the nicest house I've been to in Leon: I felt like I was in a California or Florida beach house. It was a good time - they had a cookout and most everyone there was cheering for Spain to win.

Lastly, there is a kind of music that I have recently been getting into since returning: electronica! It is really popular in the clubs here, and although at first I hated it, it's really grown on me. I recommend this song: Stereo Love.
i would say that your decorating options are pretty wide open at this time! i don't detect a color,style,trend,nor any theme of any sort so let your inner martha stewart move you! hey-what is the church/cathedral in your room with a view? looks outstanding. emamamia
