Hello world...

Not much to report today. Just another wednesday--kids are doing great. The weather has been cold for quite a while now. I miss the sun. Aparently its one of the coldest summers--the farmers are worried that the grapes wont be very good this year. We'll see.

All the wheat has been picked. During my run last night it was just so bizarre to see how different the landscape looks with these tilled fields. Its so great. The air smelled like manure because they are started to turn the crops and replenish the soil. I never realized that farming is such a science--pretty cool stuff.

We have been playing Dance Dance Revolution these last few days. It is so great--and I am getting really good I kinda scare myself. For those of you who have never heard of it, its a game made for xbox (the game system) and it comes with a mat that you use to step on and do the dance moves as directed by the tv screen. Kinda confusing to explain, but thats about as good as I can do. Anyway, its a perfect way for Camerin to get out his ADHD tendencies and let the rest of us go about our day in peace and quiet. That is, of course, if Im not playing. Its a great way to work out--no joke. There's a fitness mode on it that will count the calories that you are burning. So far I've burned 400 calories--hahahahaha! Sooo good.

Anyway, thats about it. I'm ready to start packing and get home. Just a few more travels--first Amsterdam and then Italy--and then home. Let me know how ya'll are doing.

Ciao,
beth o.
