The Mid-term of Term 3 here at RVA is underway. Friday at around noon students started leaving campus for a four day holiday. All students except station kids leave RVA and return late Monday afternoon for the resumption of classes on Tuesday morning.
Pictured above is a scrum during the annual JV vs. Staff Rugby game. This year the JV gave the Staff a good run for their money before being beaten by the 16 member staff team. Even tho the staff won, they paid a price in bruises and sore muscles. But the injuries were worth the bragging rights.
Thursday, we moved into our home below Titchie Court. We had lived in this same house 4 years ago when we taught during 1st term, so we are familiar with the layout. However, we are not staying there yet. We are living in yet another house. The home of the Dubber family. Todd and Kilely Dubber are chaperoning the Senior Safari. This is a 5 day annual safari the Senior Class takes before graduation in July. They usually go to a resort in Mombasa and have a really great time. While the Dubbers are helping the Seniors enjoy their "last hurrah", we are taking care of their three kids, Cassidy, Titus, and Ella.
Yesterday, we joined three other RVA staff families, the Hazard's, the Unruh's, and the Wilson's and went on Safari to Hell's Gate National Park. While there, many of the adults and kids rock climbed on Fischer's Tower. Pictured are Jeff, Megan, whose climb set the bar as far as fastest time, and Ian climbing.

Jeff climbing the tower in order to install the climbing rope. This is dangerous as there is not yet a rope to secure him from falling.

Tuesday, I begin teaching full time for the next 6 weeks. Next weekend I'll post another entry to the blog and let you know how things went.
