The Junior 2s had a field trip to Ueno Park today. My groups went to a very crowded Louvre exhibit. It was so crowded that you could hardly see the paintings. My poor students were a little frustrated as they had to find their favortie painting and write about it. There was no space to just stand and write. Oh well. Very few complained and they just have fun with their friends. In the afternoon we went to Ueno Zoo. I hadn't been there for at least 18 years. It was greatly improved since then. Here are some pictures from our day.

Why I have the best mom in the world...

...because she never gets angry when I forget to put her mother's day card in the mail!!!

...because she is more beautiful than the flowers in our garden!

...because she brings sunshine to everyone's life!

...because she is supportive of everything I do!

...because she raised three great kids!

...because you make us so happy!

...because you make us sing!

I love you this much!!!

Thanks for being such a great mom!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Toledo, Spain

Our friend Edgar from Madrid was so kind as to drive us to Toledo, a beautiful ancient town a couple hours from Madrid. We had a wonderful day enjoying the countryside and the city of Toledo.
