Second Chances

It's been a while, but second chances are always worth waiting for!!! With that said, in a couple of weeks I'm heading back to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to teach at the same school, EWIS from 4 years ago in the middle of Covid!!! Phew!!!

I'm very excited and will have lots of pictures, etc. to share as I embark on yet another journey in my life. I have enclosed a few pictures from last time.

Please wish me well as I wish you well on whatever journey you are experiencing:)

A Return Visit to Mongolia After Six Years

On Friday, July 7 I left LAX and arrived Sunday, July 9 at the new airport in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia after an absence of six years. Fifteen hour flight, fifteen hour time difference. I was met by my driver, Dawa and my teacher, Boogii and her children, Khuchit and Angela.  Smiles everywhere. Over the next almost four weeks I stayed with both my teachers, Muugii and Boogii and their wonderful families. I also spent some time in my favorite desert, the Gobi.  With so much to share, it's better to show the photos. As I journeyed through Mongolia, I posted many pictures on Facebook so some of these are repeats, and some are new. Please enjoy:)
