Grand Canyon

Sky flew in from Minneapolis Thursday night. Today we drove up to the Grand Canyon. Curt flew over it in a helicopter when his family was here last month, but Sky and I had never seen it. By the way, if you haven't noticed, Blogger crops any horizontal pictures.





a late breakfast at IHOP



Curt did all of the driving today...

my classroom

i thought you might like to see some pictures of my classroom.











my desk and computer





they are supposed to come take these old computers away, but haven't yet.



attempting to broaden their horizons with the Bob Dylan poster. :)





the view from my piano.

one downside of my room: no windows! there really aren't windows anywhere on campus, because the classrooms are housed in small buildings. there are probably 8-10 buildings all together.
