Buenos Dias,
Let's face it:
So many blogs are sooo serious and tell the same story over and over. Like "Then my friends and I went out for dinner and had Korean food" (well, you are in Korea)
or "We saw the most beautiful sunset over the lake--only in Austria"(not mentioning the sun is all over the world).
or "We saw the most beautiful sunset over the lake--only in Austria"(not mentioning the sun is all over the world).
This blog will TRY to be comedic...and poignant...and insightful. Yeah, right.
The key word there is try.
Now, I'm not a comedian.
I'm just a teacher, and a dad with 3 boys, a wife, a dog and a very "dry" sense of humor. I've never tried comedy (does it show?).

I will also try to tell my story with anecdotes, funny links, photos, and lots of humor. I will try to keep the blogs short because, hey, you don't have time to read all my stories, and I don't have that much time to write them.
So, let's start with the beginning:
Why Teaching y Tacos?
If you've ever started a blog, the title is one of the most difficult parts to complete. Try to make it interesting and relevant. Yeah.
If you are interested in either international teaching or tacos or our family, you should visit this blog. In Queretaro, we are inundated by both--teaching and tacos. The entire "taco" idea is ironic, considering my first job was at Taco Bell, where I thought a Burrito Supreme was the best meal ever. Hey, it was a burrito, and it was Supreme!
I have been teaching for almost 24 years in Los Angeles and our journey to Mexico was a bit of a shock (more on this later). There are tacos y sopes y chile rellenos y mas tortillas on virtually every street corner. One of the major streets is Universidad. It's apparent that education is important here. Hence, the name: Teaching y Tacos.
