I am teaching in Chengdu, China on a teacher exchange program between Phoenix Country Day School and the Chengdu Experimental Foreign Languages School.
Monday I spent the afternoon at a teahouse inside the grounds of Wenshu Temple. You can see my tennis shoes propped up on the chair. I had a good book and jasmine tea. The other picture is of a delicious bass.

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.

Hi Team Harrison,
I wish you were here! Emma is hilarious. The teahouse scene is all about relaxation. I am going back to Wenshu Temple this evening to have dinner at the Bhuddist vegatarian restruant with my friend Michael who teaches German at the school.
