this is a group of kids i went on a short walk with...they also went bike riding and rock climbing where we camped for the night...it was in this beautiful gorge that we had to cross the river of to get to where we were camping....it was a bunch of fun....except for the all night rave....
here is a shot of me with a building at the village museum...it had a huge iron key in a lock...it was built like a fortress and was incredible inside...it was part of a village museum located outside of tismana....village museums are pretty cool here as they build replicas of houses found in romania in one park and you can visit them all at the same time...we have one here in bucharest, but i haven't made it there yet....its supposed to be pretty amazing :)
here i am with one of brancusi's scultpures...the endless column...it was incredible...but i am not sure my romanian friends would be happy with me playing" with his work...but i think its a funny picture :)
here's the last shot from the trip...its all of my 8th graders on the playground at the hostel we stayed at...people have asked where the kids are from...well..they are from the states (usually embassy kids), romania, england, israel, lebanon, pakistan, south korea, china, belgium, ireland, venezuela, ecuador, italy, portugal, australia, canada, etc....in other words they come from all over...but all of them can speak english...maybe not as their first language....but well enough to get by...overall, its a good group of kids...many of them are a bit spoiled...but they are like kids i have taught elsewhere in so many ways...it should be a fun year...and so far i really like my 8th graders...hope you enjoyed the pictures from the trip...we had a fun time for the five days :)
