Stepping Out of the Boat

Well we are in our final stretch here now that we only have a couple days left. We just wanted to catch you up on some things that we have done in the last week that were noteworthy enough to make the blog.

This last weekend we went to our last resort here on the island. Because we didn't want to travel far we went back to the Hamaca that is in Boca Chica. It was nice to get away one last time and spend a couple days on the beach. I have included a picture from the resort but figured there wasn't much that we didn't put on the last blog entry about the Hamaca.

On Monday, which was the first teacher day, the school took the entire staff to the beach for a staff party. It really was unlike any staff party I have ever been to. It was at a Nautical Club so we had the entire place to ourselves. After swimming in the ocean, enjoying the pool, and the conversations on the beach we had a BBQ together culminate the day. It was real nice to get away from school and see our co workers in another environment.

The last couple days we have been finalizing everything at school. Packing boxes, finishing any grading, entering grades on the computer, and so on. Claire and I are done with everything so we have been coming home extra early to finish getting our apartment ready to go. I have also been attending graduation rehearsal for the 6th grade graduation that is tonight. I found out yesterday that I will be the MC of the night with my 20 page script. Ahhh the advantages to speaking English. I will probably have to put a post tomorrow letting you all know how this worked out.

Other than this mild madness we are pretty much ready to go. Because of my graduation tonight and our plans to go out tomorrow night we finished packing our bags last night. So we are living in a somewhat empty place. I think we will be able to bring back everything that we want to. I guess we will find out on Saturday.
