India eh?

I will be going to Delhi with Air France today. Here I am at the gate.

It's exciting to be going on adventure again!!

I am going to  Global Pathways School in Tamil Nadu, South India.  I have been part of the "Teacher Task Force" made up of Ontario teachers who have been helping GPS with curriculum suggestions, literacy and general support for the teachers at the school. I will be going to help with the kindergarten program and with any support I can give the music teachers or any other teachers. Although I do have some preconceived ideas (the teachers that have been there describe it as a special place with joyful children), I don't know really know what I will find there and I hope I will be of use. I do know that it will be great fun!

I fly to Paris overnight and leave early in the morning for Delhi, transferring to another flight to Coimbatore on Saturday morning. The school is about 20 km south of the Coimbatore in the suburb city Chettipalayam. Quite a long haul! (Good thing Alice has equipped me with 4 new books on my kindle!) Talk to you when I have settled in!

See Coimbatore in pale blue?
See the little picture of India top left? I will be very south won't I?

I'll have a blue Christmas without you

One of my homework assignments for the forest therapy course is to find a “sitspot”, a place to sit with the natural world and allow nature to work its way in. My sitspot on the ship is in the bow of the U deck. When the crew is working on the deck, it can be quite noisy and some parts of the engine are noisy too. I am glad to have my fancy musician’s earplugs. They allow me to hear everything (even small details) but they lower the decibel level to protect hearing. I use these when I need to. But at the bow, there is a miraculous quiet, and I listen to the waves against the ship, watching the birds and the changing sky. On the starboard side in the early afternoon, or the portside in the morning, I find the most exquisite variations in blue. Perhaps I’ll see a greenish blue--let’s call it aqua, or a light greyish blue or on cloudy days a darker grey like a blackboard. I love to see the particular blue that falls somewhere between denim and royal blue with...

The adventure has begun...

The first weekend after school was very busy, packing up my home of 26 years and saying good bye. I couldn't have done it without the help! Thanks to Jannie, Emma, Lea, George, Donna, Richard, Jean, Cait, Kevin and Patricia, I became homeless in a gentle way. Thank you everybody!    I  got by with a little help from my friends...   (click here) On Canada Day, Kevin and I went to Rattlesnake Point, Crawford Lake and the Royal Botanical Gardens. What a lovely day! From July 2-5 we went camping with the O'Neill kids at the Pinery. What a beautiful beach, and even though we got sunburned, we both enjoyed being with the kids. While waiting to acquire my Chinese Visa in Toronto,  I stayed in luxury at Stephanie's house. This was the pillow on the bed. It was perfect.  When I got the visa, I took the Ontario Northland to Sudbury for a love-in with my Mom and my paddleboard. Mom helped me reduce my backpack load by 15lbs! It is now a mana...

Northwest Territories Part 1: Yellowknife

Yellowknife is a beautiful place! Unfortunately, there was a lot of smoke at first from a forest fire in the neighbourhood--it was quite a surprise when getting off the plane! Apparently the fire was about 40km away and sometimes blowing toward Yellowknife. It had abated in 2 days. My first night there, I met Leone and Clem of "Buffalo Nights Bed and Breakfast." Clem actually hunts buffalo, but hasn't for a while since it's too much meat. There was a gigantic taxidermied head of one of the "little" ones he got. The view from their house overlooks Great Slave Lake from a high rocky hill. So gorgeous! I stayed at Fred Henne Territorial Park for 5 days, on a rocky hill. I read 4 novels sitting down at the beach of Long Lake, which is, of course, long and also shallow and chilly. I took a picture of my first coffee made. I still didn't have fuel, so I got boiling water from the gatehouse. I placed it so you could see the veins of pink ...
