Tuesday--Grading, Golfing and Dancing

Tuesday Dad got to visit a local golf course with my student's dad. They had a great time exchanging stories and golfing past the native crocodiles.
No one is going to go looking for their lost golf ball in there! "Look at those snappers will you?" (a quote from "Romancing the Stone"--eh, Daniel?)
While Dad was golfing, Mom was inside helping me grade my final exams. It is so nice to have a teacher's assistant here with me! The grading was done twice as fast. Thank you for your hard work, Mumsy!
That night we ate dinner at a local courtyard which presented native cultural dancing and music. This was one of the better shows we've seen and we were thankful for the great costumes and interesting instruments. The dances were beautiful and gave a great taste of native Philippine cultural.
To top off the evening, Nate and I were invited to the stage to join the nationals in the show. Dad was great at grabbing the camera for us to capture this unique experience. "It's all part of the plan!"--it seemed like we had planned that just for my parents to enjoy.
