The danger of combining wine and scissors.
There's a bar here called "The Yeti". I don't think they actually want their patrons to LOOK like yetis ... :)
Ah, me and Lake Geneva, a match made in heaven.
And a little confession... no, I am not talented enough to cut my own hair, and neither did this venture involve alcohol (thank God). And I escaped with only minor injuries. :)
The Neighborhood.
C'est pas mal, the view from my new flat. :)
The "Washington State" of Europe.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It's time for a change. Winter is over, the tourists have arrived, the sun is shining, and it's time for Dan to hang up his whiteboard markers and red pens in Prague, say goodbyes to a wonderful group of students and head for the Alpine reaches of Switzerland - where he'll do it all over again!
Well, to be completely accurate, do it all over again on a smaller scale. I'll be in the town of Leysin, just southeast of Geneva near the French (oh!) border, teaching at the Leysin American School for the summer! That's right, British English can bugger off, werr talkin' Amurican now! We all want to learn how to talk as good as George Bush, right???
Thursday will be my last day teaching Pomaturitní at Presto, and I have to say, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. It's been a long year. It's had its ups and downs. The girls have been alternately trying and
milá (dear), but it's hard to leave.
(And I have to admit, after a weekend of parties, swimming in our pool, and sunning myself on the terrace, it's kind of hard to leave the flat, too.)
p.s. Visitors be warned that Dan's room will NOT be serving as a guest house during his absence (without his and Richard's approval!), but that upon his return, provided he is both local and available, visitors will be more than welcome...
