Another Blog in Paradise...or Something Like That.

"You are what you eat." I've never quite figured that figure of speech out...but if that's the case, last night we were spaghetti. We enjoyed a nice evening dinner with the Rainbolts last night. David and Gina are fellow Tacoma School teachers with us over here. Kara and I teach the 9A kids with David and he comes down on Thursday and Friday to help my 7th Graders with their English skills. He truly is an English Guru. They have two kids, our surrogate niece and nephew, Emily and Jacob. If you enjoy our blog, you would really enjoy their blog as well. Here is the address:

Their most recent blog does a great justice to traffic here in Lagos.

We are doing well today! I think for the first time in my life, I missed the opening game of the NFL season as it was 2 AM when it started. So that's what I'm struggling with right now, Kara seems just fine though! I've been using my giving up my season tickets to the Seahawks as leverage with the parents over here to help explain how committed I am to teaching their children! So I need to get back to that as my students are finishing up their presentation preparation for their explanation of the ongoing conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan. Yes, these kids really are THAT good! Talk to you soon.
