Google Earth Tour - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of my favorite places to visit when I return home to Ohio. I was just home last month and I was bummed that I didn't have time to check out the new exhibits (Lady Gaga's Meat Dress was there). The structure was designed by I. M. Pei who also designed the steel and glass pyramid for the Louvre in Paris as well as the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. When I return home, it is mandatory that we at least drive past the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because I find the structure aesthetically appealing and the museum holds so much wonderful history of Rock and Roll.  Here's a link to the tour:

Sweet Shanghai

Things always seem to come full circle and that was certainly the case in this latest adventure in China. It seemed like ages ago that we were in a taxi with Professor Rhea headed from the Shanghai Pudong Airport over to Hongqiao Airport to catch our flight to Guiyang and it was decided that the driver would cruise through downtown to show us the Bund. First glimpse of The Bund A little taste of Shanghai and a glimpse of what was yet to come, I was hooked and looked forward to our last days in China simply because they involved exploring one of the world's largest cities that I knew was full of art and wonder. Shanghai's famous skyline  Lizzy's friend, Melissa, graciously invited us to stay in her apartment and I looked forward to reuniting to rehash our weekend at the Miao Village as well as commiserate with teaching stories as Melissa was an English Teacher at a private school.   We landed in Shanghai and had no trouble finding a taxi to Melissa&#

For Ms. Mahoney & 5M at Hawthorne Elementary in Missoula, Montana

Greetings 5M! How are you all doing?  It's been a while!  After my time in your classroom, I spent the holidays in Ohio with my family, student taught in a second grade class in Browning, MT and I'm currently in my 6th week student teaching at Guiyang No. 4 Experimental Primary School in Guiyang, Guizhou, China. Map of China showing Guiyang.  China is huge! Here's a close-up of our neighborhood.  Notice we are very close to a park.  Qianling Park is famous for its monkeys!   Monkey monkeying around at Qianling Park Things are really different here, as you can imagine.  I thought you'd be interested to know what the typical school day is like for a student in a Chinese public school.  I've been teaching 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 6th grade.  The 6th graders are preparing for a standardized test so I am not permitted to teach them every week.  At No. 4, there are over 1,000 students in grades 1-6.  There are four classes of about 50 students in each

Morocco 2023: Marrakech & Essaouira

Image
I'm torn between titles: "Better a little Morocco than no Morocco at all" or  "Making Peace with Marrakech". If you like doors, cats, and rugs, this is the post for you! Marrakech, 2023 Morocco is a special place to me.  It was the country I visited my first time abroad.  This was my third trip and I loved feeling more and more at ease with the experience of getting around.  Everyone has different travel philosophies and I'm often asked about mine: "Why do you keep going back when there's so many other places in the world to see?" Do you really get to experience a place if you only go for two weeks, hit up tours and sightsee, run yourself ragged, and never go back?   The older I get, the less I want to see and the more I want to be.  There is nothing more satisfying than having days with no itinerary (other than a rooftop breakfast and mint tea) and simply wandering.   the color combinations in Marrakech are dreamy will this all fit into my lug
