'Til We Meet Again


On jaarama! Tanaala ton?

Now I can say that and be completely confident you all understand me. How does it feel to know a bit of another language, spoken only in a little corner of Africa? I was happy to practice Pulaar with you, because it's easy to forget a language if you don't practice it.

First off, I want to send off a huge thank you to all of you for inviting me into your classroom yesterday morning. It was so much fun to share some of my experiences in Guinea with you. I can only hope you had as much fun as I did. Were all of your KWL questions answered? If not, feel free to pass your questions to Mrs. Lloyd, and she can pass them along to me.

Which reminds me...there was one question I couldn't answer yesterday: How many miles is it from here to Guinea? Well, I found a realy cool website that lets you calculate the distance between two places. Want to know what's even cooler? I was able to find both Clark Elementary and my little village of Bodie on the map. Ready for the number? 4888 miles! I know, I know. Huge, right?



Well, I'm not certain where my next travel adventures will take me, but I'll let you know as soon as I find out. Keep the people of Guinea in your thoughts and prayers, because they want to become a free country like America.

Until we meet again,
Kevin
