Hello,
Well, It has been 40 days since I have departed Wisconsin, it seems like I have been gone much longer than that. My days go pretty fast when I am teaching and doing school work, it is the down time when things tend to get a little slow. I have been going for walks, the beach is a nice walk, some days the sand is really soft and you have to look for a harder surface to walk other times the sand seems pretty well packed. we have had some good wind storms, blowing hard enough that the lagoon on the eastern side of the village was emptied, other than the water from the river still flowing, the rest was mud. No, we are not buried in snow yet, it is getting a little colder at night though. Soon we will see the white snowflakes, if you want me to send you some let me know. I posted a bunch of pictures on Sunday, they were just random shots, there is not a lot of things to take pictures of, and I am somewhat blocked in by the water. If I wanted to walk the 8 miles to the northern part of the island I could, but it would still be the same scenery. When winter approaches, ice and snow will be good objects to take pictures of, for a few days till that novelty wears off, the Northern Lights will be on my list of "to do" things, there is a website that informs of the best days to see them. Cloud permitting. I am looking forward to staying up and enjoying a brisk -40 so I can take photos. The first time will be fun, the rest of the times it will be crazy. Teaching is going pretty good, it is still a lot of work, especially since I have to teach subjects that I have not taught before and have to create all the lesson plans that go with it. I was spoiled at Bullen, teaching the same stuff every year. I am not complaining though, I get to teach some of my favorite topics in social studies/history, yea! I also have the honor of teaching sex education to the males in November. Awkward. I am doing well, slowly getting my food supplies stocked up for the winter. Never know when supplies/services will be interrupted by the weather. Brenda is doing a great job of sending stuff. Thanks dear. Well that is about if for this edition, I have rambled on for a while now. Take care.
