Well, I came back out of retirement to be a school administrator and now I am even teaching school again!!! Got to teach grades 7 and 9 English classes today and we worked hard both periods on speaking English....Gosh, teaching is work!!! I got to meet with the English staff this morning to plan out my teaching schedule. Russ and Judy are teaching at Muangchaliang (the larger school) and have also had busy schedules.
For lunch, Mr. Ceasar took me, his mom ( who also teaches at this school) and two of the English teachers. We had frogs cooked two ways....one way was in a spicy soup, the other was with a gravy...lots of fresh, uncooked vegetables, sticky rice, and for the second time I also had pork entrails.
This afternoon we visited the Thai Silk museum in Si Satchanalai. This area is very well known for silk production going back many years. If you don't find a ready made garment you like, you can pick out the fabric you want and have it handmade for no extra charge. Since we are hosts of the school, we received a 50% discount over what tourists are charged.
Our day did not end until after 10 pm again this evening and we are all exhausted, but we are so excited to see, do and experience all of the things they have helped us to experience.
Its 11 pm and I have to get to bed cause it is up at 6 am!!!
