Hi! I had a good weekend! I actually had a good time at the lock in onFriday. We took the kids to Mac and Don's to eat. The students actually behaved themselves (other than being silly). They had Star Wars toys in the kids meals so I got a kids meal with along with two boys I have in art. We got light sabers and had a few light saber fights. Also, things are really bad here for me; I ate the hamburger and fries and they tasted good!!! When we got back to the school I was supervising the movie room; I thought I'd be breaking up lots of inappropriate behavior but none happened. I got caught up in watching the movie and didn't get home till 12:20 (my shift was over at 11) and then I couldn't sleep! I hate that!
On Saturday I got up at 7 to go on the shopping trip; I still haven't gotten a DVD player. I got clay pots for my new house plants and some groceries. On the way home there was an accident on the free way and we were stuck in traffic on an on ramp. There was a Holstein cow staked out in grassy area of the on ramp! It was hilarious! Here is all these cars creeping along and this cow happily munching away in the middle of it all. Of course I had left my camera at home. It was very funny.
When I got home I cleaned up for my party then took a nap. I baked the bread and it turned out very well. It came out of the oven in time for my guests and it was a big hit. We had a great time, the food was good and Barbara brought dessert. Around 8 we went to another teachers house for his birthday party. That was fun also. Some local people were there and we talk about Ukrainian politics and local life. I went to bed at midnight that night.
On Sunday Isabel and I spent 7 hours exploring downtown and another area. The weather was beautiful. We were looking for art museums but couldn't figure out the addresses. I knew of a gallery downtown so we headed over there. I'm glad I thought of it. They had some very interesting exhibits. We were probably there for two hours. Afterwards we went to TGI Friday's for a snack and browsed some shops. We then took the subway down a few stops and went to look for this English book store. We couldn't find it so we walked thru the botanical garden. It was a nice area but was more of a park. Coming out of the park we were a little lost so we wandered some, found a beautiful park we walked thru, bought some chocolate, and found a subway to get us back to where wwe needed to be. When we got off at our stop and were walking out a large group of punk dressed kids walked by and about a dozen of them had mohawks! I wish Steven could have seen their hair! It was great!
