This week I signed my contract with St. Mary's Preschool - associated with Colegio Navarrete, a primary (grades 1-6) and secondary (grades 7-9) private school. I am scheduled to begin orientation on August 18 with classes starting the following week. The schools must be pretty important to the community as they have their own directional sign off Lopez, one of the main streets through Guaymas!
The campus houses both the Preschool and Colegio Navarrete and the scenery is just beautiful. This is a shot of stairs that lead to what must be an outside stage.
And this is the Preschool itself from the stage stairs.
This is also from the stairs - showing the gates into the Preschool and the surrounding neighborhood.
And here is a great pic of the Director of the Preschool, Elsa with her 2 daughters, Lucia and Maria Paola. Maria Paola will be in my English class!
On another note, Richard from Scotland found our blog and we have been emailing each other. He will be arriving in Guaymas in August and he will also be an English teacher at Colegio Navarrete. If anyone has any housing ideas for Richard, please send me an email.

Congrats! I've been following all your photos...looks like you found a fabulous place to settle!
I used to get out of the city more to kick up some dust clouds in relaxed little towns - I really love them.
Great news indeed.

Super Congrastulations on getting that contract signed. Although in this culture, at least here in Merida, it's rare to get actual contracts, it's always reassuring to us gringos to have some sort of paperwork. We feel more settled and secure for the having.
Felicidades
