Measuring Up

Today was day two at the English Camp for us. We are a still bit jet-lagged but we are slowly finding our feet. Jeff, Carmela, and I are teaching more and more sessions each day and the kids are getting used to us. We worked on asking questions with one group, counting with rulers with another (with minimal sword play), and Jeff got called of to do another session. The kids have a lot of energy, and we are doing our best. After the sessions, we went for lunch at a nice cafe. From there, I returned to the hotel and Jeff and Carmela went off with Fufu and two Romanian (Jeff thinks they are Lithuanian) guests to the northern city of Umm Qais to visit the Roman ruins and to look out over the Jordan River Valley into Syria. It has been a very good day and Jeff and Carmela will be exhausted if they ever get back....

We started counting with the rulers then went about the school measuring stuff
