The last, last day

Well the end has arrived and camp is officially over.  This means two things, I am moving on to other parts and I am retired again.  YEAH for both!  Working for a month for four hours a day was good, got me back in touch with my people.  I know many of you want to kill me right now, HEHEHE!  The camp was really great though and this last group I had were fantastic!  It was a perfect ending to the whole experience.  Camp was at a local baseball diamond where the kids had training everyday in the afternoon after English in the morning.  I even got to see some of them play yesterday as they had tournaments at the field.

Most everyone is leaving late in the night, around 3:00 am my time, to make their way to Rome and back to the places they live.  I will be leaving around lunch time to catch my train down to Bari, Italy.  It is a few hour train ride south along the coast of the Adriatic and should be very scenic since it is, of course, supposed to be a warm sunny day tomorrow.  Then I leave Sunday night at 11:00 on a ferry to Croatia where I will be for three days.  Not a lot else to report yet but I am sure that will change with a new venue for me to explore.

Enjoy some pics and I will talk to everyone from Croatia.

Ciao

Baseball locker rooms are all the same no matter what age or language, smelly and full of goofballs.


Yesterday we had a scavenger hunt I wrote up that had the kids running around all over.

They had to ask different people questions in English and get English answers.

Right after running the bases.

Trying to figure out which tutors mascot is a husky and what in the world in a UCONN.

I made them watch "The Pick" and then write down Kenny Wheaton's name.  They asked if that was me making the famous play.  I almost said yes but Duck honor wouldn't let me.  GO O!

The two teams came down to the last second but team one edged out the victory.

The big stinkin' pot for sauce I spoke of last time, I mean right?

Our last day together.  Group photo.

Goofballs, I told you.
