Today is day 6 of teacher training. I am part of the Blue Waves team: Stephanie, Lauren and myself.
Yes, anyone that doubts that our group did an Amazing Race ala television-stlyle format, please see the pictures we took during the race. Oh, by the way, we came in last. That is more than okay with me because the experience is what really counted.
The race for our teams began at 11am. It ended when the Blue Waves arrived at 3:40pm at the final convergence location. A few pictures and away we went to go back home on the Metro subway.
By 5pm we separated into groups to make errands that were pending. My group of girls walked on to the Paris store to buy a hairdryer, I a cell phone. Believe it or not, I bought a basic cell phone for less than $20 USdollars including connection! The hair dryer cost me $11 USdollars (wet hair does not go with cold weather). On we walked to a supermarket to buy some dinner then back to our hostel by 6pm.
Certainly the exercise in walking everywhere is much appreciated by many of us. When the weather is so cold the walking is such a blessing. Now each of us eats our supermarket-bought dinners at the hostel's cafe lounge. Immediately, some of us bring our computers to the lounge to continue our blogs. Hurray!! I am caught up on my journaling.
I case you are wondering why I mention so much the cold. Well, there is no indoor heating anywhere (including stores, pharmacies, etc.) Try taking a shower or sleeping in super cold weather and you get the picture...
