Friday Fare

Happy Friday everyone!  I hear the states are cold and snowy.  If you want to borrow some of our heat and sun you're welcome to it, there's plenty to go around.

Before I forget, I'm obviously back to my old format here.  I noticed that when I was posting with my iPad the pictures were much bigger but were all stacked at the end.  Does anyone have a preference?  If so drop me a line.  If not I'll just do whatever suits my mood.

I spent the last 6 Lenten Seasons of my life at institutions that did not serve meat on Fridays.  Now that I'm in a country that doesn't observe abstention from meat, I can fully appreciate those 6 years.  Lunch today was steamed veggies and rice.

Lots complain about the food in our cafeteria (or "casino" as they call it) but I'm thrilled to have a free hot meal every day.

Work the last few days has been useful but a bit monotonous.  We did some team building around community today that was pretty cool.  This is a collage of all our ideas for how a teacher can foster community in the classroom.

Dan and Sophie got back from the states today reuniting all of us for the first time since Christmas.  We decided to celebrate by all wearing plaid and going out for sushi.  Sarah told us to make these faces and then either deleted or never actually took the pictures where we look normal.  Thanks, Sarah.  And you're welcome Mom.

The sushi in Santiago is excellent.  Tonight we were especially hungry which made it even better.  Laura doubted our ability to finish 64 pieces of shushi but then she remembered she hasn't been around guys much for the past two months.

No problem.

We just finished "watching" Sherlock Holmes 2 during which 4 of the 5 of us watching fell asleep.  I'm looking forward to sleeping in very late tomorrow and getting some things done around the apartment.  We have a kitchen that needs sorting and paintings that need hanging.  Come back for more!  And I hope you all have a great March!
