Dukes of Hazzard
You are probably wondering about the subject.
On Saturday evening we went out for dinner to Shinkows Chinese restaurant with the Level 12's - boys and girls. After dinner we all came back to school for birthday cake as we had 2 birthdays to celebrate. Following the cake we divided into 2 groups to watch the DVD the Manchurian Connection.
When we put the DVD in the DVD player we received the message "wrong region". It seems the DVD player had been brought in from England and the DVD was produced in India. The two were incompatible. We tried several other DVD's and all had the same result. It was disappointing for the group.
Fortunately on Thursday last the satellite dish had been connected. We unplugged the DVD player and hooked up the dish. We located a movie channel and the 9:00 P.M. movie was The Dukes of Hazard. The group enjoyed it and it was a good laugh for Nigel, the dorm parent, and myself as we reminisced about some of the 1970's shows.
Today I was on "croc" duty. "Croc" duty is when an adult along with 2 "A Level" boys escorts the levels 4 - 6 to Junior church. This is a 45 minutes service that starts at 10:00 A.M. After church we line them up in two's and walk back to Lushington (school). Hebron school has two locations. One campus is the main girls dorm area for Levels 7 - 13 and is called Selborne. The main campus is Lushington Hall where all the boys dorms are located. Also at Lushington is the dorm for the levels 4 - 6 girls, the admin offices, the main dining room, sports hall, assembly hall, class room, labs, hospital and most of the staff and IG quarters. There are some staff and IG's who live at Selborne to supervise the girls. There are school buses which bring the girls over in the morning and then take them back at night. The older ones are permitted to walk as long as they arrive on time for classes.
Anyway we, 2 adults, 2 Level A boys, walk back with 32 children without losing anyone. It was much more difficult walking back as there were a lot more people about. Most people were going to the Botanical Gardens which are just outside the main school gate. There was much horn beeping and gloat bleating along with cries of "socks, socks" "flowers, flowers" and other vendors hawking their wares on the sidewalk.
It rained this afternoon and so my walk was cancelled. It is quite cool tonight. I am wearing a fleece top as I type this.

Manchurian Connection or Manchurian Candidate??? It's good to see some pictures. Keep them coming. It looks very basic... very Central American. Sounds like you are busy... good, and enjoying yourself... even better.
