My Visited Countries

So 17 days until I fly home in for Christmas. But in other news, I found this website where you can put in the countries you've visited and it puts it on a map of the world. Mine is really skewed though. I've been to Moscow and St. Petersburg, so therefore Russia is filled in, but it's a massive country and I've really only seen very little. I guess I don't feel the need to try and go to as many countries or see as many places, but rather just go where I find interesting. I mean, I definitely would like to try and go to a lot of countries, but there's more to it than just going to as many as possible. Although this map does point out that I haven't come anywhere near the Southern Hemisphere.

Things here are going well. Emily and I went to the Weihnachtsmarkt in Erbach on Saturday. It was really cute, really fun too. Saturday night I was also able to talk to my parents, and sisters Nancy and Rebecca, so that was really great!

In teaching on Monday and today I taught the 12th graders about gun control in the United States. It was pretty interesting. I didn't really know very much about it, so I had to do a lot of research. I tried to be balanced and show both sides of the issues. I was really impressed with how open minded the kids were about the issue.
