New Type of Year!

WOW- never dreamed this year would bring so much exciting change.  

This trip is only the beginning!

I am happy to announce a new job(s) for next year: 

I will be the new school district teacher-science specialist and 

teach one class of CHEF SCHOOL at my dear 

Einstein Middle School 

(where I have taught science for 17 years)!!!!! 

linking Chef school to the gardens & to science of course!

Butterflies in my Stomach

How fun to meet people who can give me good ideas of what to do along the way.  On Friday I met a woman who suggested I go visit some gardens while I am in Nice, France.  I had thought to simply wander the waterfront & oldtown, but now I have an even better plan!  I will walk 10 km (6 mi.) east along the the waterfront in the morning with a fabulous destination: Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. (click to view!)  Sweet!  It is a lovely historic villa open to the public, overlooking the Mediterranean.  It is surrounded by amazing gardens & a tea room (where I shall take lunch).  If I am exhausted, I will find transit back, otherwise, stroll back into Nice late in the day.  I could not have thought of a lovelier way to enjoy France for one day!
