Today we woke up to beautiful mountains and sunshine in Vang Vieng and we left with trailers loaded thanks to our support crew in Vientiane! In two days we have handed out over 100 balls and it didn't take us long today to start interrupting classes and get them playing with the big guy and myself! We are not going to lie.....but being both PE teachers, some times you need to put the pencils down and get that body moving and today we were successful twice getting classes to take break and enjoy a little chaos! 今天我们在凡阳的大山中醒来,阳光明媚,带着满满的拖车准备出发,这得感谢在Vientiane帮助我们的人。短短两天里我们就送出了100多个皮球。今天我们一上路没多久就开始闯入课堂,让孩子们和这个大个子和我一起玩耍。不是我们吹牛,我们都是体育老师,有时候你们需要放下手中的铅笔让身体活动活动,今天我们就两次成功的打断课堂,享受一下乱糟糟的欢乐! My favorite part of school was recess and any opportunity get moving! I was always the first one ready to go during break and the children here are no different. When we arrive at schools, the energy from the kids is amazing and it is so much fun to witness their enthusiasm! Today we played games, practiced skills and of course had a few laughs....It has been very special to ride through the hills and we are happy to help them channel that positive energy and provide them with the opportunity to enjoy sport and play! 我在上学时最喜欢的部分就是假期和有机会玩耍的时候!我总是在课间休息时第一个跑出去的人,这里的孩子们也一样。当我们来到他们学校时,孩子们展现出来的活力令人吃惊,看着他们如此充满活力你自己也会很开心。今天我们和他们一起玩了游戏,笑声不断。在山区骑行感觉很特别,我们很开心能给人们带来正能量并且提供一些游戏和玩耍的机会! My theory about the people believing Cyril was apart of the NFL Dallas Cowboys community outreach program was accurate when we met a teacher by the name of "La" who thought he is a professional American football player....just the confidence booster my guy needed to get him through the hills today....We are working together, similar to how rocky and Apollo join forces to defeat obstacles that seem so grand, but realistic when a common goal is achieved together...However, Cyril would say it is a little different from the hills in Manitoba...Our engines are running on "pho" (beef noodle soup), fruit and nuts...There is no Lance Armstrong dprogram out here....just a lot of heart... 看来我的关于人们认为Cyril是NFL达拉斯小牛队的明星的理论是正确的,我们遇见一个叫“La”老师,他就以为Cyril是个职业美式足球队员。就是这种自信鼓舞着我的伙伴翻越了今天的大山。我们是一起工作着,就像Rocky和阿波罗联手打败那不可一世的困难与障碍,共同完成一个目标时是多么开心,尽管Cyril说这里的山和曼省的山不大一样。我们的能量来自于“pho”,就是一种牛肉面,还有水果和坚果。这里没有阿姆斯特朗的故事,只有热情和真心。 We are now in the village of Kasi and we are starting to experience many hill climbs, but it seems effortless because we are doing what we love...If our ability to move, challenge ourselves and interact with others was taken away for us...we wouldn't be happy....
现在我们到了一个叫Kasi的村子,开始爬山了,这似乎没那么费力,因为我们喜欢。如果把这些挑战自己的机会和与人们交流的机会夺走,那么我们将不会开心的。 A toast to the adventure yet to come.... 我们期待未知的冒险! Paul

A toast to the adventure yet to come!\(≧▽≦)/ Also, I'm moved by "seems effortless because we are doing what we love...If our ability... taken away from us...we wouldn't be happy….". It is directly descript the reason why I want to being active and why we want to keep working on our dreams and never give up! So excited because of your trip!

For sure I have zest for these, both on landscape and sports. Hope the water is better and the conservators of the mountain there are kind to you(than somewhere).
