Fall time is Beach time

Although it’s October and the fall season has started, its more or less still summer here. Starting to become quite nice though, with temps in the 80’s in the morning and evening and 90’s during the day (much preferable to the humid 110’s a few weeks ago).

These photos are of the area around the fifth grade building on campus. The middle school has 1,000 kids, 100 staff, and has the feel of a small college campus. I still get lost walking around, but am starting to find my way. Many grounds-crew help keep it manicured and hallways spotless.

With the weather cooling a bit, I’ve enjoyed the beach some more. As well as some dunes around a new beach I enjoyed with another teacher and his family.

And some beach photos from the last couple weekends:

It was fun taking the car out of camp for the trip out to the beach. Speed limit 120km/hr beats the 40-65 around camp.

You’ll have to forgive me for all the beach photos, but I am from Kansas and still can’t quite get used to the reality that I can be sliding my feet into the fine-grain white shores and warm, flowing salt water within half an hour’s drive from my couch. Which, speaking of couch, I’ve upgraded the living room with one:

Lastly, just wanting to share that I’ve booked a flight back to KC for Dec. 19-Jan. 1, so I’ll be back for a brief time to visit family. Hoping to catch a Chiefs game while I’m home! With them doing so well, it’s given me a little recognition around the school, being the one guy from KC. Happy that I’ve been able to watch their games so far.

Thanks for reading, that’s all for now. Next post won’t be flooded with beach photos, I promise. Maybe I’ll give some more insights on day-to-day life. (But as you can tell, the beach really has been able to be part of that for me lately!)
