I am teaching in Chengdu, China on a teacher exchange program between Phoenix Country Day School and the Chengdu Experimental Foreign Languages School.
Here is a picture of my new blue electric bike! It is the one that the man in the tan shirt is holding. This will be a great way to get to school and explore the neighborhood. The battery lasts about a week then you just charge it in the apartment.

I teach 5th grade science and mathematics at Phoenix Country Day School in Paradise Valley, AZ. There is a link to my school below. I have a M.S. in Geology from Idaho State University and have worked as a mudlogger in Wyoming and as a surveyor for the United States Forest Service in Idaho. For the past 23 years I have taught in Idaho, Kuwait, Korea, Myanmar, and Phoenix. My hobbies are rock hounding, reading, and traveling. I enjoy taking my students mineral collecting on the weekend. Our most recent trip was to collect mica near Cleator, AZ. We found huge books of mica in a pegmatite. My wife Dell and I have four daughters and six grandchildren. My favorite vacation was to the Grand Canyon where I rafted the Colorado River from Lee’s Ferry to Diamond Creek. My favorite sport is football and my favorite food is Asian.

Hey Grandpa Jerry!! We're glad you and your rocks made it safe and sound to China. The dumplings look delicious -- please bring back some recipes! We look forward to reading about your adventures daily. Too bad Jim will not be closer - his tickets arrived today to Hong Kong.
