...finally! The video of Mexico...

I originally started this post in early January, before Christmas vacation was over. After working on this video for several months it was finally ready to share. But...it was too long to save on You Tube, and evidently too long to insert here just as a Photo Story file. Last Friday I showed it to my coworkers and instantly got insecure about it--they had been in meetings for two days and were itching to get to their classrooms, it was too long, too boring, too...too. Perfectionism and self-doubt kicked in--Why did I choose THIS photo? Why did I choose to caption THAT photo and not a different one? It didn't help that afterwards a well-intended coworker corralled me and said, "You know what you SHOULD have done..." Ah well. It is finished. (And my mom loves it.) The next one will be better. The computer guy saved it to our school website for me today, so click on the link to see where I spent two weeks last summer. It was an incredible time and I am so very grateful to our district for the opportunity.
