After lunch a group of about 15 of us headed out to our swim hole. We wanted to take advantage of the nice weather while we still could. Because it was so pleasant outside we opted to take motorcycle taxis instead of the bus or taxi. The 15 minute ride was wonderful! Peach and I shared a bike and pretend to be flying. Silly yes, but it was that kind of day that you just wish you were a bird to flap about.

When we got to the swim hole we found that it was closed. After a little climb we got in anyways and were "invigorated" (quote by Kim) by the cool temperatures of the water. Of course soon before we left is really when the sun peaked over the cliffs that surround our swim hole. (You would think we would know to go later by now!!!) Anyways, we enjoyed soaking up some sun (well us foreigners did anyways while the Chinese girls sat under umbrellas) and watched some of our students who learned to swim over the summer. It was great!

Tonight for dinner many of the same students/friends came over for dinner. We made LOTS of pizza. It was a thank you feast for those of us that helped us move apartments. Brad and Amy made the crusts yesterday with supervision and then the kids got to put on their own toppings tonight. They were creative as grapes even made it on to 1 pizza! The boys watches women's soccer on TV and the girls sat around singing silly songs and chatting. Sometimes you really can forget that you are living in a foreign country!

Now I sit at my computer, laundry washing, grasshopper pie freezing, floors freshly swept and utterly exhausted. Just wanted to write about my grand day. Tomorrow morning I will get to sit amidst friends and Think about what is truly important. My favorite part of the week. Today was a great ending though to another week.
