I didn't return home to see my family until last Thursday. Instead I flew from Hanoi to Seoul, Seoul to Seattle, then Seattle to Great Falls, Montana, where I met up with my principal Nancy, team teacher Robin, our students (plus 1) and 22 parents. I don't think I was too much of a help for Robin, but I enjoyed being in Montana, with great students and their great parents, learning about the Corps of Discovery. We all survived an eight hour bus ride back to Spokane, and we even had nearly every student return to school the next day and stay late for Writers' Celebration.
I've uploaded some of my photos from my Vietnam trip to Photobucket. There are a lot of ads, but this site allows me to share my photos with anyone for free. If you click on the images you'll see them full size. Please let me know what you think!

Tam Dao was once a summer retreat for wealthy French families when France occupied Vietnam
This is what's left of one French villa--there were over 400 here at one time, but were destroyed by the Vietnamese people in the 1950s

Rachel, I like all of your dog pix in the photobucket. The one of the blackish-grayish dog, mostly of the back of the dog, is the one that I really badly like. It's adorable!! I also like the kitties 2! I hope you've gotten a lot of positive comments, and i hope you liked your trip.-Natalie****

P.S. my favorite butterfly was the shimmery green one!☺
Rachel,
You were a lot of help to robin because you helped plan the trip, get the food ready, and get the students in order. What was your favorite and least favorite parts of the journey to Hanoi, Vietnam.
