Letters

We received some pen-pal letters today! My students were very excited, and couldn't wait to start writing back to all of you! It was really great to see all of your names again-- brought back memories! I had to tell my students some stories from your classes-- and Madi one of them was how you were always drawing during class! Check your emails... the letters will be coming soon!

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.
