Airport Pickups

Yesterday Morning, i picked up one student (Ukranian) and this morning I busted tail to try to register our Marcelo at his high school and busted more tail to get to the airport by 10am to pick up 6 at once, with Judy. Between our two cars we got the whole crew home and out to lunch. That's a lotta luggage, folks... Now the kiddos are all crashing in local, temporary homes and I'm gonna catch a nap...

Tomorrow we start "class"--a whirlwind tour of sites, immersion in culture, and language instruction. Ten days later, we'll be done, working almost 12 hours a day together... breakfast, lunch and dinner...

This is one of the best and most difficult times of my year. Each day unfolds graciously, if not gracefully, and it always "works". The students really get oriented and onto the right foot.

Till tomorrow...
