Photos of Second Day

My new friends - all of them are helping me improve my Spanish.  The last one on the right is Ana, my roommate in the hotel in San Jose, an MSU preservice teacher, and my interpreter when I don't understand things.
Some of our group at Peace University, where we had classes the first couple of days and went on a Nature Walk - photos of the nature walk below:

  1. How exciting all this is! Have fun, and do whatever you need to renew your spirit for education. You are a wonderful educator, and I'm sure the lessons you bring back will be great for you and for your work with students.

  2. Thanks Jeff! It is invigorating to spend time with so many young and enthusiastic teachers. I'm sure you'll experience a similar feeling in your work with the teachers at Lakeview High School.

  3. Thanks for sharing - it is exciting to follow your adventure. It looks amazing. I'm sorry our satellite technology is failing to help you navigate the streets... I'm pretty sure Uncle Sam could find YOU if they wanted too :)

    1. Hi Lor!
      So good to hear from you and to know that Uncle Sam is on top of his game!
      I was thinking of you this morning when we had our meeting at the US Embassy. The Director of Cultural Affairs here is a really interesting guy who used to write for the Chicago Tribune!
      Hope all is well with you.

    1. Hi Steve!
      That's awesome about Peter Gabriel. I'll mention it to our connection at the University of Peace.
