Back in Memphis

This is an amazing place at the "Mud Museum" In Memphis TN. The last day of PFO was a lot of meeting that really had nothing to do with some of us...so I took the opportunity to go up to Memphis to do some exploring. I went up with this teacher from Lima. Kyle Boles, she was at PFO for the same reason that I was. We both missed our PFO the first year and so we had to be there this year. The last day had lots of insurance and stuff like that talked about and so I borrowed a car and we drove to the NICS headquarters and then went to downtown Memphis and saw this "Mud" place and thought that we'd take a chance. What you see in the picture is around the museum. It is a small replica of the Might Mississippi river. It is huge and I think they said that the scale was about 1:1000 or something like that. It took us about 45 minutes to walk the whole thing. At the one end I tried to throw her in the Gulf of Mexico. This
is an even closer picture of part of the river. Most people would take their shoes off and walk through the water. In some places it would get pretty deep. There were several different places that empty into the Mississippi and those were all represented. We had a lot of fun. After our little trip to Memphis we drove back to the SBEC where we were staying, which is a huge school in South Haven MS., we stopped by Maggie Moo's and got so amazing ice cream. As we walked back into the school the other teachers were jealous of what we were bring back after their boring meetings. Thank you Kyle for a great afternoon.

Electronics Market here we come.

It's been a week and I think I have a little time to write a little something. This picture is taken with the backdrop of the electronics market. This is a section of Seoul, that people can buy ANY type of electronics. I have gotten so many things up here. They have phones and cameras, computers, dvd's and divx players. It takes about and hour and a half by subway. Most of the guy teachers just drool when we go up there. There are several buildings going about five blocks and five to ten stories high. You can also build your own computer. There are several other things here that we love to go for. But most of the girls hate going here because they lose the guys attention. You know but turn about is fair play. There is another place called the fabric market. It is eight floors, four buildings wide. And they will get mad because the men don't want to come and help carry all of there purchases back home. I know where are our manners. But this is how it is here...for at least a little longer huh?

Peace out...later on.
