At school we have this gorgeous pool. I can't express how hard it is to resist the temptation to dive right in after a long, hot day at school. Yes, I have gone swimming in it and no, I have not dunked any of my students in it - not yet any way.
While I am living in a city of over a million, the jungle is never far off. This other picture is taken of the forest that is across the street from my school. Our gardener uses a lawn mower but he also has a machete for the big stuff. This patch of forest is also where I saw a two and a half foor lizard scurry off one afternoon. Right.
