Spring Break, Yea!

It was really weird having one class and then Spring Break.  Just a taste of the new class, and a week off.  But I am working over the break, even though I am in Punta Cana.  I am with family and friends and there are three of  us posting or working over the internet.  A friend had to do a Skype with a person in Minnesota for her job.  Wow, other people besides us MAITS are using technology!  My daughter-in-law is finishing up her Master's program with Georgian Court and had to work on some of her assignments.  The hotel offered 25 hours of WiFi for $25.  I think the three of us should get things done in 25 hours and still have time to enjoy the beach and have some fun.  The weather has been a little cloudy, but here that is good, because when the sun is out full strength, it is so strong and hot and we are burning a bit.  It is warm and there is a beautiful breeze sitting on the beach.  A few minutes ago there was a pelican floating by my granddaughter.  Life is good.  We are so fortunate living in the United States.  The people here have been so nice and we have gotten to know a few of them.  My son and I speak some Spanish (my son is much better than me) and we have enjoyed talking with them.  They work very hard for many hours in the day.  We were invited to eat at a Dominican restaurant one of them works at in the evening.    We tried some of the local food and ate Guinea Hen and Goat.  Some of us liked it, but my son had a hard time getting past the idea of eating goat.  My grandson really enjoyed the food, but my granddaughter thought we were all crazy.  Well I look forward to meeting with all of my MAIT colleagues and learning about Web Design, but hope my week goes by slowly--it will be hard to leave this paradise.  Enjoy the rest of your vacations, rest, relax and regroup!
