Life at Tour (de Buis)

I will write in more detail later, but this is just a quick note to assure that I am still alive and well. Three weeks of spring session were fun, and summer session starts today. We have been preparing for the last three days, so the days have been long and stretched out, but productive. I have been coloring a lot, which I love. I am teaching again this session, and looking forward to it. I like all the counselors here at the new site, so it should be a fun couple of weeks. It is a bit strange adjusting to camp names again, since at BAFA we were going by our real names, mostly. I am starting to feel like I have multiple personalities; CK and Amy are not the same person, and since camp hasn't started yet I have been both all week.

BAFA training was an interesting experience last week. It was an excericise both in being a camper and a counselor. More on this later.

I got to my new site on Tuesday after spending a relaxing three days in Bordeaux. The new site, Tour de Buis, is known as the best camp food in Amvil (American Village). Regardless, I am sick of camp food already. It isn't bad, but it's repetitious and mostly prepackaged or canned, which I hate. I would stop eating entirely, but we have to try everything just like the kids, so it will be two months of bad food. Small portions is key here. On the upside, there is a wonderful automatic coffee maker which we have access to at all time of the day. What a perk!

I have some pictures I will post when I have some extra time too. A child stole my memory card on the last night of last session, which was disappointing, but I think I had most of the good pictures off of it already, and others have taken many pictures as well.

Well, that's all for now. Hope this finds everyone well; email when you have time. Signing off - CK
