Winter Break Ends...

Well, I am sure you are all adjusting to being back in school and beginning your new year on the right foot! My students haven't returned yet.... we officially start on Monday. I have to tell you, it is a little hard to go back after such a long vacation-- but I am looking forward to hearing all about the trips and celebrations the students participated in.

Many of my students returned to their home countries for winter break-- Romania, Japan, Russian, etc.... so I am excited to hear their stories and see their pictures. I am also looking forward to sharing my new experiences-- I traveled to The United Kingdom (London) and Ireland (Dublin). The world is our oyster-- travel when you can because it is amazing!

If I understood Miss Foster correctly... I should be talking with you guys sometime on Friday. Hopefully, you have started the new year off right and are able to participate in the conversations-- I look forward to hearing all about your cold, wintery weather and all about your holidays.

Georgian Cuisine

I was recently in Tbilisi, Georgia for a basketball tournament, and while there we took the students out to a traditional Georgian restaurant. Georgian food is excellent! There are a lot of spiced mixes with vegetables, breads with cheese and beans (Khatchapuri), and specialty sodas. They also specialize in meat dishes, or dishes that have meat in them. Khinkali is a noodle type thing that surrounds a mixture of meats soaked in spices, which simmers and forms its own broth. Farhad, one of the senior players, demonstrates the proper way to eat Khinkali. I wasn't able to master the "proper way", but I did enjoy it!

Hey Madison! Do you remember this??

I am so glad that I saved these... good memories!

Students from BIS (Baku International School)

The students in these photos are from all over the world. I am teaching some American, Polish, Japanese, Romanian, Azeri, Turkish, and Russian students. They are very animated and love the camera--- like most students/teenagers do.
