Hi Lois!

Of course I remember you. I have very fond memories of you in fact. I"m hoping to get back to Canada for Christmas this year. Is there any chance that you might be in Winnipeg then?

As far as the English classes are concerned, I don't work for any English institutions or schools. I give classes out of my house. The classes are structured in units, all of which are independent. Meaning that as a student, you needn't have taken the first or second unit to take the third. I have solid group of students, about 9, that rotate through the units, with about 3-4 new students every unit. I have given three units so far and the fourth is scheduled to start up in September. All of my students are grad students. The classes are designed as intensive for intermediate to advanced students, not beginners or people in the low-intermediate range. The focus of the classes is English for Academic Purposes. To that end, we focus on reading, writing, listening and speaking. We don't focus on grammar on its own, we cover grammar through the four core areas. As the majority of my students are scientists, the material for the classes is based on current news, events and resent research publications. I try to dedicate an equal amount of time to the four areas and so approximately 1/4 of the class is writing, although, I am trying to incorporate more writing into the class. The class has a blog that I use as a tool to provide extra material and feedback, both to the class and on an individual level for each student. If you'd like to take a look at the blog, I'd be happy to give you access. I have enjoyed giving the classes and I plan to continue doing for a while.

Fantastic post! And thank you for teaching me the angler's loop. It's my favorite knot and has proven to serve me well!

My favorite local restaurant, the one that we go to for no special reason, is on Riveroll (of course) between 14th and 15th and is called La Cocina de Lupita. If you haven't already eaten there, I highly recommend it--especially for breakfast. They have the best omelets. And the prices are very reasonable. We love going there on Sunday mornings. I will be posting about it in the near future :)

I don't know that I have a favorite, favorite restaurant in Ensenada--there are a lot of really good ones. I'll have to think about that one! But for sure La Cocina de Lupita is my favorite local (to where I live) one. :)
