It was another wonderfully sunny yet terribly, bitterly cold day. I almost didn't want to take the walk into town but I had students this morning to meet with. I did pause to take a
n adorable picture of three of the children that Jean Marie takes care of Mauve, Lukas and Ben.My hour and 10 minute walk into town certainly woke me up. It also helped that the overnight snow showers had left all the trees and homes glistening and sparkling in the sunlight. And I was delighted to see a winter snow rainbow in the distance or at least that's the best way I can think to describe what I saw.
I met with Nuria and Diego for three hours and we talked about lots of things including family, travel and the general state of things in the world. Diego also brought 
his laptop so I was able to see pictures of their family, their home in Barcelona and also the beautiful country village they hope to move to when they arrive back to Argentina. They're such a lovely couple and a pleasure to spend lots of time with. I truly enjoy their company and our 
conversations.

We also spent some time working on verb tenses and sentences using adverbs and adjectives. It was sad to say goodbye to Hilal but I am very happy to know he'll be in good hands. Becky, who works at the cafe where we meet just finished the TEFL course has a wonderful energy and is so positive and upbeat and I am sure will be the perfect teacher for Hilal and he the perfect student for her. I've really learned so much working with him and am hopefully a be
tter teacher because of our time together.

Jean Marie's friend Noreen had her youngest children performing in this play/circus type event. The performers are students at the Galway Community Circus Fidget Feet school where they learn everything from gy
mnastics to
trapeze works. It was very well done but the theater's heat was broken so for two and a half hours we froze or butts off and they made fun of me because I wore my scarf, mittens and all my layers while inside and mom even made fun of me by putting her scarf around her head before taking a picture with Norren.
