What a treat!

Today, I took knives to school. Scary! My class of beginners carved a pumpkin. They had never done it before, so it was fun to see their reactions. They got out their cameras or their cell phones to take pictures. I taught them interjections. Gross! Yuck! Ew! Meg sent me a bag of candy corn, and I shared it with a few of my classes. They loved it. I have been telling all of my classes about Halloween traditions like visiting pumpkin patches, trick-or-treating, and going to haunted houses. They have been telling me about their traditions for All Saints' Day. I am eager to see the cemeteries that night- I've heard they are covered in candles.

I had another new class today. A man picked me up this morning and took me to a car dealership where I taught conversational English to six businesspeople. They were very friendly. We talked about everything from the Denver Nuggets to school shootings. They also told me about a meal served at some restaurants- raw meat on toast. The director of the company promised to take a group of us out so that I can try it. Fortunately, it goes very well with beer.
