Well, I have had a few adventures as of late.  The bad news about that is I have not yet written about it yet.  Buuut, I plan to!  And the good news of recent adventures (there is rarely bad news for adventures) is that I enjoyed myself and will tell you about it soon.

The bad news today is that it rained nearly the entire day, and what was formerly the street by our apartment is rapidly being annexed by the sea.  You would think that in a city that has rainy season every single year around this time, this could be a problem easily solved.  And yet my daily walk across the street to school, and across campus to my classroom has now become quite a challenge!  On Friday morning, there was literally no way to cross without submerging my feet, so I whipped out my flipflops and waded through.  Today, someone had kindly placed a board at a convenient crossing point, so I was able to step across.  The good news?  This still beats the heck out of snot-freezing cold and even the chilly temperatures in the DC area I have been hearing about!

I hope everyone is enjoying the week of Thanksgiving!  I’ll be working half a day, including a feast for the first grade classes, and then enjoying a school Thanksgiving meal.
