I'll be moving to Toluca, Mexico on August 15.

Toluca is about an hour west of Mexico City. It's the capital of the State of Mexico (pop quiz: How many states are in Mexico?) With an elevation of more than 8,700 feet, it's definitely the highest city I've ever inhabited. How my aging bones and shotty lungs will handle such altitude is yet to be determined.

I'll be teaching at Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Mexico as part of a partnership with University of North Texas. Here's the link for more info on that.

Check back for updates, photos, and general babble. Until then, here's a photo of the zocalo in Toluca.
