And The Winner Is...

February 10, 2007

We signed a contract today! We’re heading off in a completely new direction, away from the continent of Africa.

We had tremendous interactions with people from all over the globe. We cancelled several interviews after securing our position, but received a lot of positive feedback from various school heads. We learned a lot about the whole process.

Our new country is politically challenged, but exciting nonetheless. There are beaches, forests, mountains, and plenty of wildlife. Travel is easy and cheap and the climate is very moderate.

The school is small (250 students), but well situated on a hill outside of the city with lots of room to grow. There are regular professional development opportunities, including money for each educator each year.

We will have to live in an apartment (boo!), but it is a three bedroom abode within walking distance of the school. The city is the third largest in the country (1.3 million), but is close to the woods, the beach, and the mountains.

Overall, we are very excited. Is your curiosity piqued? Good! Stay posted for more info.

Give Hugo my regards...I may not agree with ALL his politics, but the fact that we both disdain Bush is enough for me. LOL.

Good luck!!
