American Language Institute Picnic + Thunderstorm

So we had a picnic for the A.L.I. today and got chased away by a massive thunderstorm.

Below is a slide show and a video.

P.S.: The N95 survived the incident without any issues. :)

Kristen and Tom are leaving the faculty of the American Language Institute at the completion of the current semester. Tom is retiring, and Kristen is moving to Duke University with her husband Heymo. Bummer.

End-of-semester ceremony at A.L.I.

At the end of each term, the A.L.I. (American Language Institute) holds a little celebration/get-together with food and some speeches. Most of the younger looking folks had/have to endure me as a teacher. Most of the older looking folks have to endure me as a colleague.

Here are some pictures:
