Home for one (!) month

We are finished with Saudi Arabia. منتهى (We think this is Arabic for "finished". They say that a lot.)


One of Alonda's students is a member of the Saudi royal family and gave her a nice plaque to commemorate graduating from high school. He gave a different plaque to each of his teachers.

We were the co-advisors to the Class of 2008. Their slogan was "Super 8" and they used the Supereman type logo. We liked the Superman logo on this Leipzig lion. Not everyone you meet on the street takes really good pictures!


We had a nice stopover in Germany for a couple of days before flying home to Bremerton. We visited the teachers we worked with for years as part of the German-American Partnership Program (GAPP). One is going to Geneva to teach German and the other just had a baby. The third teacher is now the German advisor for Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest.

We are home for a month (cell phone 206-369-9258) and then are flying out to Karachi. We start school in Pakistan the first week of August. This also means that school ends in May.
