I am drinking a Tim Horton's cappuccino, so I must be in Canada. Unlike last summer's whirlwind cross-country adventure, this summer's holidays will be a much calmer affair. A few days in North Bay, a 10-day Vipassana meditation workshop just outside of Toronto, then to stay with my parents until the holiday winds down.
I'm sure many teachers would agree with me that the last few days (weeks?) of school tend to drag on a bit...At least we went out in style. No classroom-movie-watching end-of-year parties for us, no way. We went to a 'finca' belonging to one of the families for a day, and apart from the bus getting quite stuck on rough road leading to the property, (and then again on the way out) the day was a huge success!

| The kids released a huge whale-shaped balloon... |

More to come after the meditation. 10 days of no talking, no looking at others, 2 meals a day... my bum hurts just thinking about it, but I think it's going to be an amazing experience!
