Today was my first day at the schools, which was an awesome experience. The teaching style out here is so much more relaxed, yet expectant of the student to be responsible for their education, which is nice and VERY different. Also, the students and teachers have numerous breaks during the day, which is nice and allows their brains to stay focused. School starts at 8:45 and at 10:30 there is a tea break for 20 minutes, 11:50-12:30 is lunch break, 1:30-1:50 is another break. Also, students have swimming for 30 minutes for some point in the day. Pretty great! They're so lucky compared to kids in the U.S., who oftentimes don't have recess or any breaks really.
Came home after school, and I was starving, so I had some snacks and then it was so hot that I passed out for a while. When I woke up, I got myself together and rode to the woodshop to meet up with Dave when he finished up. We went for a bike ride and headed to the beach for a swim and a couple beers. The water was great and quite refreshing. :)
At home we made pesto and pasta with tomatoes and a raw salad with kale, carrots, onion, avocado and sprouted mung beans. Yum!!!
Dinner!!!
