A long weekend, grading, grading, but time for the beach too........

I am currently in the middle of enjoying a four-day long weekend, with Thursday 1st May and Friday 2nd being holidays (for those of us fortunate enough) in Mexico. In the true style of solidarity (a concept alien to the English I believe) the 01st May is a day reserved for the recognition of workers - this year with Labour Day falling on a Thursday, we have the Friday as a "puente" - or bridge.

I have a lot of work to do currently grading essays which form the final project for my cohort of 144 students about to graduate, but I didn't let that stop me from going to the beach in the afternoon on Thursday, and how wonderful it was to get back to Kino. It has been a while since I last went and appreciated the beautiful shore and the way the sun sets behind the small hills at the end of the beach, projecting a deep purple into the sky that sets perfectly with the waves as they begin to come in further. I will post a picture up ASAP of Kino - a beach that I fell in love with in 2005; one that binds me to this place and finally a place I will miss very deeply if and when I decide to return to the UK.
