Ok, I haven't been posting on this blog as much as I'd like to. I apologize to everyone at home who is reading this and waiting for updates! I've been pretty busy with work and when I come home I just want to sleep!
On the first weekend of September it was a holiday, so there was a 3 day weekend. A large group of teachers rented a bus and drove 6 hours to Mui Ne, the lovely beach destination on the South China Sea where we visited last year.
Mui Ne is famous for its huge sand dunes. This year we rented a jeep ($6 per person) and the driver brought us to both dunes (the White Dunes and the Red Dunes). Last year we got ATVs at the dunes, but this year we just decided to hang out and relax. There was an intense frisbee game of "TIPS" going on, some long jump competitions, and some well-deserved relaxation.
This year we also rented bicycles (75 cents for 2 hours!) and went to the Fairy Stream which looks like something out "A Land Before Time." The shallow stream runs along banks of bright orange sand/mud. Some of the mud on the banks was so thick that our feet were getting stuck like quicksand! At the end of the stream there is a small waterfall. The place was really beautiful and great for photos.
The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out at the pool, getting massages, eating shawarma, and celebrating a new school year with our fellow teachers. Good times!!!

Sounds like the fun has begun!!! Getting a slow start in the blogging business is completely understandable at the beginning of a new school year:) No worries!
