The first day of school in Moldova is a day to remember. Everyone dresses in their sharpest black and whites. There are many speeches and many flowers handed out. I unfortunately, once again, did not bring my camera. My life does not even exist without my professional photographer cousin Quintin around. I had a teacher friend take some pics so hopefully I can post those soon. I received so many flowers and kisses on the cheeks from students that day, they really know how to make a teacher feel appreciated. Its a good thing considering the fact that teachers here make about a $4.50 a day.

Congratulations to my 7th graders! They worked hard and won the Pizza Party!

I had a competition among all of my grades, 4 through 11. They accumulated points by being attentive, participating in the lessons, being on time to class, and turning in all of their homework. My super star 7th grade won this competition so we ate some big pizzas which I prepared with the help of the kitchen staff at my school. Next time I think we'll do an ice cream social; much easier, and just as fun.

I was invited to be a guest at my friend Marcela's house. It was a great time.

They sure know how to treat a guest here in Moldova. We ate good homemade soup made from homegrown ingredients, and drank homemade wine. Good times.
