Next week Maelyn's school is going snorkelng on Tuesday and Friday they go to the beach for the day. Awesomeness!
This campus used to be a resort so it has a holiday feel to it. All the meals are served cafeteria style and the tables are outside. Food is delicious and plentiful! No bugs so it's so nice to eat outside. Palm trees are everywhere and gorgeous flowering trees. The playground is right outside our front door and the food court is in our backyard. Maelyn's school is just a few steps from our apartment. Like I said earlier there is a cafe that serves all the fancy drinks. A library that has free movies, free internet access. The in ground pool is just around the corner. It is having work done on it so we can't use it for a week. Our classroom is held under a canopy overlooking the ocean. Beautiful backdrop...palm trees, cruise ship in ocean, gorgeous flowers, nice breeze. The staff really decorated the tent up nice with palm branches and strung those white xmas lights all around.
The campus is set on the side of the hill facing the ocean. The mountain is behind us. There is 50 students just in our class. 15 staff leaders for our class. Awesome staff people. Worship is amazing here! I love our apartment. Big new fridge, new microwave, bathroom with shower, kitchen has big island type countertop with more cupboard space than I can use. Queensize bed. Maelyn has her own bed too that folds up. Night tables and dressers. Kitchen table and chairs if we want to eat in. Ceramic floors throughout. We wake up to the sweetest birds singing. We think we will walk over to the ocean today. It's supposed to be next to a touristy street called Ali Drive where all the shops are. Oh yea, there's even this free store here where people leave behind their stuff for the next people. We picked up more pillows and coffee mugs,etc. Anyway, it's going to be an awesome three months here. Maelyn and I keep pinching each other to see if it's real. There is a course for Koreans here so there are so many Asian people. The Korean women are so beautiful looking. Gotta go Maelyn wants to go to the playground. Aloha for now!

soooooooo exciting to read your posts!!! its making me relive the memories too! i remember being so blown away as well by the opening ceremonies! it was so wonderful to see how many nations were represented! the rappers were a part of my dts (students)... cool to see that they're still performing!! you'll hear a lot from them! Soul Chronicle and Brittni on featured vocals and i'm sure more new students and staff from performing arts.
