*Mar & Rumba and the teeny classroom visitor*

Unfortunately I didn't take as many pictures as I planned of this boat trip to the beach, but hopefully I'll be able to snag some from friends and add more pictures later. A large group of teachers and some of the office staff went on a boat tour to celebrate some birthdays. We danced to Reggaeton (which I translate as Latin Hip Hop), lounged on the boat, and lazily paddled in the water when we stopped to swim. It was a relaxing way to spend the day! Below is a picture of the side of the boat. It had 2 levels, and boasted a capacity of 70 people, although I thought our group of 40 was plenty ;-) For those of my family who went to Puerto Vallarta with me, this boat was very similar to the "Beach Boy."


disclaimer: the boat is actually called "Mar & Rumba" but my camera didn't catch the whole title in its viewfinder ;-)

 This is a picture of one of the condos that was right by the dock as we pulled in at the end of the day.


Below is a picture of the most common pest in my classroom: teeny geckos! They are more startling than spiders because they move so fast, but of course I prefer their cute looks to any spider. I don't have the heart to kill them, and they are nearly impossible to catch, so I allow them hide from me; hoping they'll find their own way back into the jungle forest where they come from. This practice sometimes results in one or two more jolts of surprise, but eventually they all escape.


Yes, that is a penny next to it ;-) My camera was barely able to focus on such a tiny object, hence the blurriness.
