The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. I love my 1st graders! Today, I was testing a student and he had to tell me a word that begins with the letter 'J'. this is the conversation. Me- "What is a Janjilly? Student- "It looks like a Pepsi, but it comes from Canada.". Me- "I don't understand.". Seriously, who is his EAL Teacher! Totally makes sense now! Posted by we are. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Friday, December 28, 2012. Sometimes i feel like i am sitting still and just watching events unfold around me- casually observing the madness that continuously circles around. it's like being in the center of a storm- only you aren't getting touched or acknowledged. you are just there watching things fly by at a rate that seems unreal. Maybe all the sand blowing in the wind is getting to me. earache? Posted by we are. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Whether i...

The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Whose line is it anyway? So many things have happened since i last posted- - so much in fact that when i signed onto blogger today, i was shocked! The dashboard is completely different! Not only am i going to have to catch up on my travel logs. but on how to use blogger again! As my students in Azerbaijan would say- "oye da"! Anyway, last night was a great night out with Em and Eva. we went to "Whose Line is it Anyway? Apparently...

The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Saturday, March 27, 2010. I just returned from some villages in Azerbaijan- being in the country (with the horses, sheep, chickens, cows.hearing tractors) made me miss the simplicity of being on "the land" (in New York) and relaxing. Looking forward to getting up there this summer for a few days. I just wish my friends from here could join me- it would be such a great experience! We made it to our destination safely. that is all that mattered. We were dro...

The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Everyone needs a pep talk :-). Posted by we are. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Pieces either fit or they don't. there is a right and wrong answer. you try piece after piece until a connection is made. is life our personal puzzle? Are we searching for the pieces, or are the pieces there and we are just trying our hardest to make them fit? I wonder what the overall puzzle looks like? Is it a portrait? A scene of some sort? Food isn&#...

The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Monday, May 10, 2010. Invertebrates and Middle Schoolers. The middle school students just finished their unit on INVERTEBRATES- what a great review for me! We were also able to explore an old tourist type of place. it looked as though people would ride the lift from the top of the hill to get to the beach, making me think that this place was once a booming and thriving beach. It would have been nice to see it during it's functioning period- becaus...Had b...

The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Thursday, April 29, 2010. And the ordeal continues. Took a turn for the worst- and I felt helpless! She has lost so much weight, refuses to eat or drink, and is so lethargic. I left work for a short while today, in order to take her back to the vet. In the elevator she used all of the energy she could muster to hiss at a poor man that was concerned about her (such a crankster. Guess I will have to recruit Emily! Posted by we are.

The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Thursday, January 20, 2011. They were watching my screen-saver- photos of my friends and family- and every time they saw me they would say my name. They were also labeling the people in the photos- I was married, had a baby, and one of my friends is now my mother! Too cute for their own good! Posted by we are. Tuesday, January 4, 2011. All in a year. January - Turkey vacation (traveling with some great friends by plane, train, automobile, and walking).

The adventures from afar. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. time. Monday, February 21, 2011. All in 3 days! Thursday morning we were supposed to leave for Oman- where we would camp and hike THE CHAINS- but plans changed abruptly Wednesday night. and new ones were formed. Instead of packing the trusty Jeep, we had a late breakfast and headed to the camel races. However, when we arrived to the track we realized that in honor of the prophet's birthday- no races! We all left with permanent smiles and plans for a return trip...
