                    <title>This one's for you Mr. Kuklok.</title>
                    <description>Yesterday we went to a place that I have wanted to go since probably 4th grade  Colonial Williamsburg Though we were only there a short time it was everything I hoped it would be and I cannot wait to go back. Everything was authentic  from the clothes to the bell jar mini greenhouses to the piles of firewood sitting outside some of the houses. Horsedrawn carriages drove down the streets th</description>

                    <title>The Capitol in Monuments</title>
                    <description>Well we didn39t make it to Baltimore. There was a miscommunication with the bus company so we will be going to Baltimore on Friday. Instead we walked the National Mall. With a strong wind and sunshine we trooped past the Washington Monument being repaired and all the way down to the Lincoln Memorial. After seeing it in so many movies it was quite amazing to be standing there in person. A</description>

                    <title>We Will Never Forget</title>
                    <description>During our morning at the Natural History Museum the students had some time to explore on their own before we visited the Butterfly Pavilion. While they were off on their own I went through the Written in Bone exhibit which looked at the remains of early Jamestown settlers and the forensics behind determining age and cause of death. Then I headed down to the dinosaurs. The most interesting part</description>

                    <title>Murphy's Law...and Then Some Starting our trip to Washington D.C.</title>
                    <description>I knew that taking 14 middle school students from Venezuela to Washington D.C. would be both a challenge and an adventure. And I knew that the most challenging part would probably be getting from Venezuela to D.C.  but I was hoping that it wouldn39t be quiteso challenging. Murphy39s Law states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong and we certainly lived that out on our way from</description>

                    <title>Relaxing on Margarita Island</title>
                    <description>For our Carnival week Erin Allison Dereek and I headed to Margarita Island. Only a 3 hour ferry trip if everything is working properly  needless to say it was not from the mainland Margarita seemed almost like a different country. It was clean the garbage was picked up the taxi cabs were marked with actual signs and they all charged about the same rate and there were a lot more import</description>

                    <title>Angel Falls for Thanksgiving</title>
                    <description>For a completely different Thanksgiving I and six other teachers ventured to Canaima National Park to see the number one tourist attraction in Venezuela  Angel Falls or Santo Angel. We started off the day before Thanksgiving with a four hour bus ride to Ciudad Bolivar where we spent the night in a hotel that was already decorated for Christmas. It was a bit strange seeing a Christmas tree all l</description>

                    <title>Proud to Be An American</title>
                    <description>This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend the Marines39 Birthday Ball in Caracas. Aside from being an opportunity to get our of Anaco and dress up attending the ball made me proud to be an American. Hearing the proud tradition and heroic deeds of our men and women in uniform made me want to stand up straighter and the playing of the national anthem sent tingles up my spine. For one n</description>

                    <title>Halloween</title>
                    <description>I usually think of Halloween as a minor holiday  a fun night to dress up hand out or get some candy and then move on to Thanksgiving and Christmas. At AIS however it seems to be the major holiday of the first semester. While the rest of Venezuela doesnt celebrate Halloween and is already preparing for Christmas I have seen more toy commercials in the last few weeks than I ever need to s</description>

                    <title>Trinidad and Tobago The Power Ballad Amazon Trail 3 Exotic Bird Bingo and Odell Down Under Mashup</title>
                    <description>Although I realize that the term mashup is used mostly to refer to blended songs I feel that it also perfectly fits the strange but wonderful mix of experiences that made up my week in Trinidad and Tobago. Just put a bit of steel pan or reggae music on in the background... After probably the best layover ever  6 hours spent on the beach on Margarita Island  we arrived in Port of Spain Trini</description>

                    <description>A wonderful discovery was made this Friday Every Friday the PTA will have a bake sale where pizza pancakes donuts empinadas and much more will be available during morning recess and lunch. Each weekNow for the second part Usuaully I feel the goal when living in or traveling in another country is to blend in to assimilate. However when you seem to be the only blonde person in the city </description>

                    <title>Adios Kosovo Hola Venezuela</title>
                    <description>Almost a month ago I arrived in Venezuela to start a new teaching adventure. Like Kosovo I was not quite sure what to expect though I did feel better prepared having had extensive communication with the school since I got hired in February. It was made pretty clear before we even left Miami that I was once again heading to a country where time was more of a suggestion than something to be rigi</description>

                    <title>Bounding Through Bulgaria</title>
                    <description>Once again it seems I have gotten very behind in my blogging. For our Easter trip this year we decided to be brave and adventurous and attempt traveling using only public transportation to visit Bulgaria and Romania. So on Good Friday we boarded a bus headed for Skopje spent the night there and were up early the next morning for another six hour bus ride to Sofia Bulgaria. Unfortunately So</description>

                    <description>My next stop was Dresden to visit Tim the foreign exchanged student who lived with my family last year. Tim and his family were great about showing me around Dresden and some of the surrounding area. I learned that around Dresden is wine country and in season you can take a walk through the vineyards and do wine tastings But I am getting ahead of myself. On my first evening Tim showed me around</description>

                    <description>One of these things is not like the others...Although this may seem like a slightly eclectic mix and how do you tell which one doesn39t belong Cathedrals Catacombs and Christmas Markets can all be found in Paris in December. After a long night in the Istanbul Airport I arrived in Paris ready to see everything that I had missed on my previous Paris visit or at least as much as possible.</description>

                    <description>Imagine the most lavishly decorated house you can. Now triple it and you will have some idea of what Versailles Palace is like. Famous as the last residence of Marie Antoinette Versailles Palace is overwhelming in it39s oppulence. After only a few rooms my eyes and mind could take in no more. The overabundance of paintings decorative molding the gilt the staues...The rooms went on and on</description>

                    <description>This year for Thanksgiving Deb Jane and I rose very early almost as if we were going to make a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner but instead we hopped on a flight to Munich and trained down to Salzburg before lunch time to partake in a wonderful AdventChristmas tradition outdoor Christmas Markets. Once we had dumped our bags at the hotel we headed towards the old city of Salzburg below the </description>

                    <title>A return to Thessaloniki</title>
                    <description>A little more than four years after first visiting Greece I found myself back in Thessaloniki for a long weekend.  Since that visit was at the end of a very long ferrybustrain trip I found myself much more relaxed and awake after only a five hour drive split over two days.  We spent Friday night in Skopje and drove the rest of the way on Saturday morning.  As we entered Thessaloniki we were s</description>

                    <description>One of our  and when I say our I mean Jane Deb Cate Krista and I  goals this year is to see more of Kosova since we spent much of our vacation time traveling outside of the country in which we are actually living.

                    <description>I had some complaints over the summer that I never published my Istanbul blog.  I apologize  last spring was really busy and very crazy.  In short  Istanbul was amazing and I can39t wait to get back to see the millions of tulips walk through the Grand Bazaar smell the intoxicating mixture of spices fruit and coffee in the Spice Market and admire the arcitecture </description>
