So we have been back in Bali for a little over a week now and finally feeling back to normal (over the jet lag)!
For starters, Christmas break was amazing. Going home after moving to a new place has a wonderful way of helping you feel grounded. We had a great time with family and friends-lots of love, laughter and of course-food! If the veggie doesn't have "fried" before it, "casserole" after it, or it's not "from the garden," then I'm not eating it! ; ) Thanks mom and Ms. Debbie for spoiling us with your good cooking! : )
The journey back was a bit longer than the one going there. Raleigh to London (6 hours) with a long layover, London to Doha (7 hours) with a long layover, and Doha to Denpasar (10 hours). The good news is we found a lounge room in the Qatar airport so we could lay down for a while.
When we got home, showered and had dinner, we learned a fun fact about Bali-if your house is locked up for a couple of weeks in wet season, your clothes and the sheets on your bed will mold.....gross. The good thing is with all of the rain everything is really green and beautiful! I could tell a big difference on campus-it's so lush!
We're excited for the new year-new goals, travel plans and visitors to look forward to. I have six new kids starting this semester and lots of other new students at Green School, so there is wonderful energy on campus right now! In class we're starting Fairy Tales in thematics and a worm farm for our practical frame. We're hoping we'll be able to make food for the middle school's aquaponics program and sell the liquid gold at the school's farm stand!
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Stay warm! ; )
