More visitors (and more fun!)

We've been kind of lax on blogging for awhile, so here's a bit of a catch up. On June 8 we met my sister Lisa, and brother-in-law Jason, in Athens. For the first few days we walked all over the city and saw the sights, then headed to the tiny island of Hydra, about an hour and a half boat ride from Athens. There we relaxed and enjoyed the island. After a few days, we headed back to Ukraine, stopped by Kiev, then Donetsk for a couple days each. It was great fun in all, and sad to say goodbye to our last visitors to Ukraine. Pictures are Lisa, Jason and Dave at the Ancient Agora with the Acropolis in the background and all of us outside the Donetsk soccer stadium.

Today is the first day of English Intensive so I'm catching a little time between conversation practice sessions to blog - since Friday we've been orientating the teachers, today the students showed up and I'll breathe a sigh of relief when today is done. All goes more smoothly after the first day. It's fun, but tiring.
