August 13- First Day of School

Paul and Thomas—first day of school. They’ve been home-schooled while living in Dubai. They left with Jim on his way to work. They looked great in their uniforms of navy pants and white knit shirt with the school’s insignia. Paul was nervous and kept tugging at his shorts.

We went with Martina later to pick them up after school. The International Community School is only about 15 minutes away. It is about 100 students, K-12, half Thai and half internationals. Classes in English, but international students learn Thai. Both boys had a good day—what they liked most—lunch. They taught us their Thai lessons on the way home.
We ended the day with around the world ping pong, a stroll in the neighborhood (picking fresh exotic fruit along the way), some fabulous pad thai and sticky rice with mango, and a rousing round of Mexican train dominos.
