In Palau

hello! We have been in Palau for a week now and have been very busy. I will be teaching World History, U.S. Government, U.S. History, and Speech this semester. I am getting very excited about school starting, which is good because it's almost here. We start on the 13th. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to go out to the rock islands and do some snorkeling. It was so Amazing! We saw so many pretty fish as well as other ocean life. We picked up star fish and sea cucumbers. At one place some one picked up a sea cucumber and it started squirting out sticky stringy stuff. It was really hard to get off. We also got to swim with a school of fish...i think they are called Yellow Jack. They were very pretty fish. There were so many different types of fish and coral that we got to to see. It was beautiful. There were lots of star fish and sea cucumbers that we could pick up. It was all so cool! One spot we stopped at, there were lots of giant clams. They were so cool, we could swim down and touch them and watch them close up and slowly open again. I can't wait until I get Dive certified!

It seems like something exciting happens every day. The other day we went swimming down by the bridge and as we were climbing out Stacy, who was the only one with goggles, saw a Lion Fish right where we were about to climb out. We were very thankful she spotted it! So we found another place to get out and watched it from out of the water. They really are interesting looking fish, but you wouldn't want to come in contact with one, so God was watching out for us that day.

Well, that's all I have for now. I will try to get some pictures up soon.
