With Pictures :-)

The time for a few pictures has come...it seriously took 30 minutes for these 5 pictures to upload...but I let the computer sit while I started laundry.  I've been here long enough to have accumulated enough laundry to where it needed to get done sometime soon.  Today was the first institute day...so we met together with the other teachers, had some time to get things organized and planned out (which I had started last week, but this time it was "official" time), and had a gathering with the parents.  But really, the purpose of this is the promised pictures.

A view of the school

This is a view of the school from just outside my front door.  There's a path you can kind of see on the right hand side of the picture...it's about a 2-3 minute walk.  And for those who are somewhat photography minded...sorry about the sun.

 My Classroom

This is a view of my classroom as you walk in the doorway.  I have rearranged some, and still have a bit more rearranging to do.  The classroom is about 18 ft x 18 ft.

The view from sitting at the teacher's desk.  The back wall has cabinets, which at some point in time will get more organized.  There are things mostly haphazardly thrown in there at the moment.  More organization stuff for me to work on in the future.

 My House

This is a front view of where I'm living.  It's a duplex - I'm in the right side of the house.  The busito (van) in front is one of the ministry vehicles, usually used to go into the city and back. 

The View

This picture definitely doesn't capture the vastness of what's around us.  Blame the camera or the photographer, I don't care.  The trees tower, the sky seems to go on forever, the sun, when it's out, is amazing.  I'm surrounded by wonderous displays of God's creation.  It's a beautiful country! [The trade-off to it being very unspoiled is transportation is fun...there is a self-imposed speed limit of 30 km/hr in the busito due to the conditions of the roads...but the view is amazing!]
