Day 2+ some change.......................

     Day two dawned and  was anxious to get going. I really wanted to get to the India session , hoping we would get more guidance with what and where and how and all of the other 3 million questions rattling around in my brain. Breakfast was delicious and I finished about the time the DC Shenanigans cohort showed up. Seems it was a wee bit later in the evening that they had come back to the L'Enfant Hotel. Looking great for their adventures, we chatted and psyched ourselves up for the last of our sessions. But first, we met with all of the participants from our state and their accompanying administrators to try to put some sort of plan for implementation of global ideas within our schools and districts. Time passed quickly and hopefully we got some ideas in place......
    Off to our individual cohorts and hopefully answers to " lingering questions"........  India presentation was awesome ( gosh he spoke fast!! ) and we learned somethings and those things raised more questions that need answers.... so much for tying up loose ends. Most of all I was happy to get to meet and see a small bit of the personalities of my traveling companions. Nicole and Carla - it will be some kind of fun.............
     Lunch was bittersweet ; knowing it would be the last time I would get to be with some friends and the Shenanigans cohort until October. We had a blast at lunch; laughed until faces hurt and then we parted ways...... Some of us off to the airport and others to continue their explorations of DC. Thank you to everyone involved for a grand adventure and incredible learning experience. Safe travels home to all and safe travels abroad. David - you will be getting a batik order before you go!

    1. A chance...very small at this point...that I could stop by your place and say "hi" this summer. A friend is getting married this summmer but now sure if wedding is in FL (his new home) or in TN (home of grooms' families). Of course the date isn't "set" yet, but it might be when you're in India...so me visiting you wouldn't work out then, LOL.

  3. Something completely random, but I was still thinking about your sari musings: you could also wear a leotard under the sari. Drawback: restroom time, or perhaps you could choose this option when you would be wearing the sari for a limited time with concomitant fluid intake. ;)
