Come Tour the Green School....with me!

Some of you may know that I did parent tours of Brightworks for years.  I thought that would be an easy and fun way to give back to The Green School community cause I have no fear pretending to know what I'm talking about. So I signed up, did the training, customized the tour for myself and today I did the first one!

My planned path had to be modified as it's rainy season and we got a torrential downpour!
There were no paths that were less than ankle deep.  The kids were all barefoot and joyous
So, Dian (my GS tour partner) and I agreed to a modified loop that would decrease the chances of anyone ending up in the Agung River, but still show off the cool architecture and classrooms.  It was a nice group of people and I really enjoyed giving the tour.

Dian gave me this cool flower wreath as a congratulations!  Come tour with me, I'll be here most Thuradays!

A long trip on my own

Even before we applied to Green School, we planned for this day, giving Mallorie veto power over the Bali Adventure because we knew if we went to Bali, Mal's graduation would not be a whole family event. Mallorie graduates from U Rochester this weekend, and tonight I fly to NY.  Rams has school and John hates the flying part of travel, so it is just me.  Denpasar to Doha to Chicago to Rochester.  27 hours total flight time.  Hopefully only 38 hours door to door, with a 12 hour time change. I boarded the first leg at 1 AM.  I intended to have dinner and then a nap.  Somehow while enjoying a glass of champagne and the massage seat back, I closed my eyes and missed both dinner and turndown service.  The QSuite chair was hard as a camping mat, but the blanket was soft and warm.  Congee for breakfast a few hours later, with an episode of The Winchesters, started the 'day?' off right.

Bali - it's not all sunshine and cocktails.

Last Sunday, Rams and I left John home to recuperate from a particularly nasty tropical virus. High fever. Body aches and viral arthritis.  As l healthily tosed our bags in the back of the scuba van, my shoulder twinged...proof I need to work out more, I thought.  After the first rest interval, my knees and hands ached a little...from helping Rams with his wetsuit of course.  The current on the third dive really gave me a leg workout...need more stretching. By the time we got home, my old elephant injury was feeling bruised again.  What?  Maybe I bumped it on the boat ladder?  It took me till Monday morning to admit that I had John's virus.  I could not walk well, or lift my arms or completely close my hands.  The doctors here don't have a name for it, because it's not Dengue and it will eventually go away.  The crazy part is that as I started to get better, the full body rash and ankle swelling started.  I'm allergic to the ...

Apologies to folks who are not on Facebook.  I posted about some of our last days in Bali there. Here is a summary:  Term 4 of Green School is finished.  Ramses got all As and Bs except for a C in Sailing....Sailing... But that's his story to dine out on. John and I created competing lists of things we would miss and things we would not.  Unsurprisingly, the lists are about equal size. We designed a slow trip home to SF and started with a beautiful ferry ride to tropical and relaxing Gilli T.  It quickly became apparently that Mal's sea sickness was something more.  Thank goodness for antibiotics.  But the horse cart to speedboat to car to plane left their stomach empty (so to speak) as we headed to Kuala Lumpur.  Our raison d'etre here:  the Alan Walker concert.....which was just cancelled.  Inconveniences all, that make us more flexible and persistent. But a very dear, very loved friend in SF passed away this week and the r...
