In these months, there are no students to teach, most of the staff are off and on with vacations, and life sort of trickles by, day by day, week by week. It's nice for those of us in Gaming and for those of us who are away.
It just so happens that my family and I are currently on vacation as well! We flew back to the States with both boys and it took almost 24 hours from leaving Gaming to arriving in Minneapolis! But we made it, and that is all that matters at this point.
While we love our life and work in Gaming, it is always nice to come back to the States. Upon our return to America, we relish in some of our favorites:
- American food: hamburgers, barbecue, ice cubes, steak, doughnuts, etc.
- The sky! While we love the mountains, the flat sky of Minneapolis is absolutely beautiful, especially when the setting sun is descending into the blue vault of
- Speaking English! Ah, we can speak with everyone...all the time!
- Shopping: we do almost all of our shopping in States for the year. The down side is the credit card bill!
- Family and friends. No explanation needed.
- Libraries. Millions of books to check out, all for free!
- Dinner parties. It is always great to catch up over dinner with friends.
- Vacation. It's great just to be on vacation, to pursue hobbies, and be with the family.
- Movies. We don't watch a lot of TV, but we do enjoy a good movie from time to time.
- The Sun! In Gaming, the sun is often sparse. In Minnesota during the summer, the weather is usually beautiful and SUNNY!
While the old axiom is true that it is always seems rosier on the other side, it is nice to go to the other side from time to time.
