Quetzaltenango!!!!!!

I'm moving to that red spot on the map!  It's a town called Quetzaltenango (commonly called Xela) and I get to go there, live with a host family, and teach at a nonprofit school that educates children with scarce economic resources! 

My job assignment is to work at the Miguel Angel Asturias Academy (http://www.asturiasacademy.org/welcome/).  I will be teaching English to elementary students and my choice of electives to elementary and jr high students.  I'm SO EXCITED!

Xela is a town in the mountains... here's a satellite view.  Isn't it pretty? 

Now it's time to do some packing!  I leave a month from today!

PS  I'm going to be sending out my first email update today to test out my list of contacts.  If you don't receive an email and would like to, shoot me a message at curleske@gmail.com!
