cabo san lucas, round two.

Fourth day of cruise.

Jet skiing,

exploring the sea arch and caves,

finding a pelican,

snorkeling,

and taking more pictures.

Third day on the cruise.

Gorgeous beaches, clear water, and fishermen.

debarkation!

The first day of the cruise!

Ship exploration, a nice dinner,

and a relaxing stroll around deck.

And of course, Jeff being mischevious.

our newest home decor improvement..

Since wifey has been gone at TFA training and I am on summer break

 I decided to channel Martha with this wall.

It took a surprisingly long time to make sure the

diamond design was symmetrical.  however..

teaching americans

i owe you guys an update on a lot

like china, sedona, and the cruise

but right now i am at teach for america training.

and it. is. awesome!!

there are so many people who share my vision

and want to change the world

and save all the children

and all that jazz

i am so inspired by the energy here and cannot wait to start teaching!

and closing the achievement gap!

p.s. explanation behind the title:
my friend was applying for teach for america
and one of the students she worked with said,

"miss g, good luck teaching americans."

he didn't understand it was teach for america...

how could you not want to teach children who say things like that?!

tropical breezes

lots of things have happened since i last blogged.

and i will write about those things later...

because we have more exciting things happening NOW!

mister c and i just booked a cruise!!!

neither of us have ever cruised (is that a verb?)

but we have heard really good things about it.

we had a mini-honeymoon and wanted to do something more

so we are using this as our big hurrah because this is the last summer that academia grants us 

(well, at least for jeff)

anyways. we are p.u.m.p.e.d!!

it is a seven day, mexican cruise and we got it for a killer price.

you should all come with us!

back again

just got back into hong kong,

where internet sites aren't blocked at all.

(unlike china, where i couldn't access blogspot at all)

so i have tons of things to share.

problem is...it's one a.m. here and we have a big day tomorrow.

but i promise when i return to the u.s.

i will do recaps of china.

for now, i am enjoying our last night in asia.

see you in the states!
