I think teaching English has done something to my sudden fascination with letters...."a" and "e" blogs being too close together.....
It's strange to think that after two years of Palau being home, it will soon be in my log of time passed and places visited. "Ed" being such small letters, but having so much meaning. I am going to be picking up life in the States not where I left off, but something akin to that, and it's strange. Hahahaha, and I have to finish htis later because we are off to get lunch!! Such strangely truncated blogs I am having lately!!

Canoeing.....Does it really have an "e"?
This computer sucks. This was not the original start to this blog. But after I wrote it all out and tried to publish, the computer bounced to some other page, NOT the one it should have, and as a result, erased my blog. I don't have enough time to write all I had on the last one (hey, this way I can pretend it was really witty and fully of clever humor; you will never know!), but I'll tell you a bit.
Yes, thanks to Jenny--my co-worker--and her amazingly gifted ability to plan (a gene I failed to receive), with a little tiny bit of help from me, Bethania High School now has a canoe team! We have 6 girls who we are conditioning (don't worry, we're doing it with them) and dieting (same), and 2-3 times a week driving to practice in the city of Koror. A man named Peter who is skilled in outrigger canoeing has volunteered to coach our girls free of charge on his days off. Let's just say he is our new favorite person. Our month will be busy, but we are having fun so far. We are even making breakfast for them during the week, and get to enjoy the company of young people every morning! They are fun girls, and we look forward to watching them bond as a team.
One more exciting thing: my Mom arrives tomorrow night! My Dad, being the sweetheart he is, insisted that she come for a visit using their flight miles. So, for 5 whole days I get to share Palau with her! I really can't wait!
Ok, I will try to write again.....unless the computer remains as evil as ever. Peace.
