A Walk at Sunset

This week I have been trying to take more pictures of the kids and the people at school since I am leaving on Friday.  I wanted to get a picture with Linda before she left today to go to Anchorage for surgery, but she was gone before I even had a chance to ask her.  The plane got here sooner than I expected today, and Linda and the principal left on it.  I didn't even really get a chance to say goodbye to her, which I'm kinda bummed about.  I'll admit, I was really intimidated by her when I first got here, but she has been so supportive and encouraging the whole time I have been here, and she's just been great.  I guess maybe I'll have to leave her a card or send her one when I get home.  Oh well.  I suppose maybe I should have been thinking about these things before my last week here, but I guess it's better to enjoy people and things rather than always worrying about whipping my camera out to take pictures of them.  I'll still try to take lots of pictures in these last couple of days, but if I don't get one because I was busy enjoying my experience, I'm not going to beat myself up about it too much :-)   

Anyways...well I did get some more pictures of the beach today.  I know, I know.  I'm sure you're all tired of seeing pictures of Perryville beach.  But it's just SO beautiful.  You would have to be here and see it for yourself to understand.  The pictures do not do it justice at all.  Today after school, Sue, Tamara, (the special education teachers) and I went for a walk down to the beach.  It was a beautiful day and we wanted to take advantage of it.  I especially wanted to take advantage of it since I am only here for a couple more days.  Since we recently had daylight savings time, the sun is setting a little earlier now, so we had our walk at sunset.  It was beautiful. 

The sun is setting on one end of the beach.....

...and the moon is rising on the other end of the beach.

Ok Mom, this picture is for you.  I went on a walk to the beach with other people, so I asked them to take a picture with me in it.  Hope this makes you happy ;-)

A giant jellyfish washed up on the beach.  It was huge.  We couldn't decide what all the red stuff was from, but it was pretty cool looking.

I think this one was upside down.

They looked so weird, but they looked so cool too.  We really wanted to touch them, but we were too scared that they still might sting us even though they were dead.

Striped jellyfish.

They were all over the beach.  I haven't seen this many jellyfish in my life.

The volcano at sunset.

Another picture with me in it.

Moonrise....

Sunset

I have a video that I tried to upload too, but it was taking too long.  I'll try again later.
