At the Black Sea

Firstly, I apologise for the uncharacteristic facebookesque portrait. In early September I accompanied two classes of grade eight students to Crimea and the Black Sea. Yes, the Black Sea is actually. And quite nice for swimming at this time of year. But one piece of advice; don’t go there for the beach, do I really need to explain what a soviet beach front looks like … ?

Wire fences, stones, a cheesy strip mall obscuring the beach and a lot of fat, leathery people. Not a whole lot of swimming, however, despite the water being very nice. Instead I recommend a charter boat out to the cliff face, away from all the tourists, and swimming off a boat.

Also, bring your own food and chef. I’d have done better starving for five days.

    Hey, I know this sounds funny but I found you on this picture while researching on the web for our One World Assignment for Science, the project focus is the Black Sea. How are you? Many people miss you in our grade and the new teachers suck! One of them though is funny to laugh at, his name is Mr.Robson, he is our humanities teacher and he is from the U.K. He is really read in the face, thin ad about 50 years old. Bogdan and i can control ourselves from laughing in lessons, but Thomas bursts out into laughter in every lesson! No surprise that Bogdan, Thomas and I got a D in our first quarter Report Card! Mr. Ziegler, our current English teacher is nice, and the good part about hiss lesson is that we bacically dont do anything! Ok, now i got to go back 2 my hw again :( :( :( cya, write back,
    good luck in your new school,
    Elias (now 7W)
